Last night Eilidh informed me that a new boy will be starting in her grade 1 class today. I'll call him Joe.
"Ms. Teacher told us he uses a wheelchair so we have to make sure we push in our chairs all the time so he can get by," Eilidh informed me.
We had a conversation about some of the different reasons a person needs to use a wheelchair. Wheelchairs have been in our topic of conversation of late because my cousin's wife just won gold and broke a world record at the Paralympics.
This morning Eilidh said, "Mom, I'm still going to like Joe being in our class. I don't mind that he's a boy."
Amen sister. Amen.
