The Big Cheese!!!!


Every morning when I drop Layla off at school she says, "I wonder who The Big Cheese will be today. I hope it's me!" And, every day, she's come home to report it wasn't her. Being The Big Cheese is an honor in the classroom and it means she gets to be the line leader, teacher's helper, etc. She has been waiting 7 weeks to be the big cheese. It's been a good opportunity for us to talk about patience and being happy for others when good things happen in their lives.

Well, yesterday was finally her day! She was The Big Cheese. And, beacuse they had class pictures and Bible Buddies yesterday, their classroom time was cut short. So, she got to be The Big Cheese again today! I told her God was blessing her for her patience. She assured me that she will be even more patient as she waits for her next turn to be The Big Cheese. She's sure that more patience equals many more days in a row of being The Big Cheese. On the way home she called Daddy to give him every detail. When she was done I asked her if she wanted to call her Grandma's and tell them the big news as well. She said no, as she was sure that they had already heard the news.
