Another Reason We'll Miss Her

This afternoon I watched Brian exit his school while holding a plastic bag in his hands.

Right then I knew something was up.  Brian doesn't carry things.  Brian is above that....okay, I don't think he thinks that, but he hates to use his hands for anything other than flapping.  If you see Brian carrying his backpack or a bag of groceries that I force onto him, his face will usually be in a grimace and he'll be dragging it around as if it is half of his body weight.

Today was different because he was grinning from ear-to-ear and had this little happy skip going on.

Inside the bag was a game called Color Train.  Oh yes, it's a train game.  That explains the smile.

I thought it was something we got to play with for the night, like some of the projects/kits that had been handed out during the year.  Then his ed tech explained to me that Brian's teacher gave it to him.  To keep.  Have I mentioned how much I'm going to miss her next year?
