eleven

alex walked into class this morning and said, "tee-cha, you are beautiful!"

i said, "thank you, alex!!!" what kind of sweet six year old says that? let alone in a second langauge?

he said, "teacher, i lub you too! i lub you too!"

(we tell each other how much we love each other all the time)

and annie ran up to me and said, with big eyes, 

"teacher! i love you ELEVEN!"

oh. how will i ever leave them?
