A Pat on the Back

The preschool director stopped Robbie in the hall on his way to the kids' classroom. She told Robbie that she wanted to tell him what she had observed earlier in the day. She went downstairs to check on the four year old classes and walked in to see Tate with his arm around a little boy in this class. The touching part about the scenario is that the little boy is mentally challenged and was having a tough time finishing the activity. While the rest of the four year olds were going about their own business, Tate had stopped to help him. She said that it was as if Tate sensed he needed help so he went over and put his hand around his back. Of course when Robbie told me this story while I was driving home, I started to cry. He's such a special little guy.
