My favorite story so far this year.....

So in my class, there's this boy named Noah. Just to paint a clear picture of this child, he is SEVERLY ADHD. And he's not on meds! :) Which is fine until it comes time to actually sit still.

Whenever Noah gets really excited, he flips his arms around as fast as he can - he calls it his helicopter. Whatever. I have to remind him daily that if one of his flailing arms ever hits me, he is missing his entire recess!

A few weeks ago, Noah was excited about something. I'd love to say that it was excitement over something we were learning in class since I am afterall a teacher, but I think he was excited that we were going outside soon. So around and around go his arms. I tell him, "Noah, why are you being so obnoxious?"

Arms stop, face drops, and Noah replies, "Miss Beautiful (my code name!) I'm not a nacho!" He thought I had called him a nacho instead of OBNOXIOUS!!!

It's these stories that I will miss someday when I sit in my fabulously beautiful home, reclining in my chair with my hottie of a husband waiting on me. :) I guess I'm going to have to find a guy who can do the helicopter with his arms . . . or something equally as gratifying!
