a happy little story

 One of my granddaughters is entering her senior year at the Columbus College of Art and Design.  As she put it in a text to me today, this coming Monday will be her last "first day of school." She is a diligent student, but this summer it took some time for her to find a summer job.  During other summers she has worked at U Haul and Pandora.  That last was the most closely connected to her artistic bent.  This year, however, the job she ended up with is as a nursery school teaching assistant in a day care run by a large local bank for the children of its employees.  She has been mostly dealing with toddlers and, as she put it, "has 10 little friends now."  Last Friday two of the little girls in her group burst out crying when their parents came to pick them up because they wanted to "stay with Miss Cece."  My granddaughter said that was the best feeling.  I'm so glad she's having this experience.  Maybe she'll try to pick up some credits toward a teaching degree?  This my daydream, not hers, but it would be fun to have another art teacher in the family.
