Liam at School

I had to pick Helena and Liam up at school today about 30 minutes early. The secretary called both rooms but Liam was in the media center with his class, so I had to go pick him up there. Helena met me in the hallway on the way down, so we walked in together. Liam’s class was being read to by the librarian, so I asked another for him. She just told me to go over and get him.

When I asked for him, he came and kids began to say goodbye. As we went around the bookshelves (the kids are seated so that you can’t see them through the library entrance because of the shelves), the kids all stood up and began yelling “Bye Liam! Bye Liam”. Pretty much the whole class joined in and Liam smiled a sheepish smile. The last thing we heard was “Bye Mario!”, which Helena laughed at.

I thought of a parent’s comment concerning Liam when he had his fractured elbow. She had asked if Liam would be comfortable coming to her girl’s birthday party if he would be the only boy in his class that was invited (which Liam did go to). When talking to this parent, I told her that Liam is quite shy at times, but I didn’t think that it was a problem. Then she told me how when Liam had his arm in a cast that he “was very well taken care of” by the other students. I guess that I saw that first hand today in the library and it makes me pleased that he’ll be able to go back to Lake Harriet in the fall.
