Ted today is well loved,
very well loved.
He’s worn with years of stories.
He’s worn with years of memories.

When Ted was brand new,
he was king of the hill.
Hubby had just brought him home
after seeing his brother Ted
for the last time.
At the time it was perfect.
But time decided that Ted should age
like his brother Ted.
Time was right,
and you know what?
It felt good.

About Jennie
I have been teaching preschool for over forty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about.
I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.
I love how you decided to let Ted the fish age naturally. Perfect!
Best wishes, Pete.
