Sevi's Light

I snagged Sevi's new first grade teacher this morning because I
wanted to ask her if they were going to talk in school about the
importance of getting there on time (Sevi is like a cat in the
morning, setting out to look for her brush, but getting distracted by
a scrap of paper on the floor that requires going into the other room
for a pen, and then the next room for a ribbon, which reminds her of
a project she meant to do the day before, and along the way she
decides to change into a different pair of socks....and then five
minutes later in response to "Did you find your brush": "Oh
yeah...") And before I could say much of anything the teacher
interrupted me, since it was the first real conversation we've ever
had, to say, "Sevi's so, so full of light!"

It's true. I'm so grateful that it comes out in school, too, and
that she has a teacher who can see it. I know I'm not telling you
anything you don't know (which is why I can tell you!) - Rebecca
