Please allow me to take a break from wearing my principal hat and allow me to wear my Daddy hat for a while. This was a big week for us at the Harvey house. My daughter Olivia, A.K.A. Lily, has decided to put three exciting events into one week.
Tuesday, August 18th, my daughter turned 5 years old. I rushed home from work to be a parent and not a principal, and I do demand the same from you on these precious occasions that we can only witness once. We celebrated with her friends and our family, and while I was happy for her, and in awe of her energy, it was saddening to realize that her days of calling me Daddy and sitting in my lap are going by way to fast.
On Thursday when I got home, she had decided to show me how she had learned to ride her two wheel bike all by herself. Allow me to share a proud Dad moment, it only took her a day. Check out this video of her riding for the first time on two wheels.
On Monday, Lily starts her first day of school as a Kindergarten student at Rea View Elementary. It will be an emotional morning for me when I watch her go off to school, but I know she will be under the care of some of the most special people who walk the face of this earth, TEACHERS!
Remember:
Treat your students as you would want your own child to be treated.
Treat others as you want to be treated.
And Treat Yourself every once and a while to some special time with the ones you love.
Very well said dad.
