day 13

Lucky number 13! I am having the best day.

• Someone from Donors Choose emailed to say that a partner is looking to fund my whole project. 
• Texas (nickname, of course) brought me a donut as a surprise.
• I facilitated at least two friendships.
• EVERYONE is smiling!

Now here's the part that I wish I didn't have to write: three children are absent today, including N. I plan to sit down tonight and think about what made today different and how I can replicate it.  However, having 20 children instead of 23 is magical -- there's no way around that.
