Affirmation.

Today was an "early release" day, so Pre-K ended at 12:30.  When I collected my Harry from the after school program at 4:30 this afternoon, he was still holding tightly to his "note" from Ms. Lorena, his Pre-K teacher.  It says "thanks for your hard work."  Homeboy was sooooooo proud of himself.  He told me he "listened very well" and "made very good decisions" today. 

He digs encouragement, affirmation, and, evidently, notes.  It's time for Mama to step up her game.
