Ashiya

In June of 2012 I first felt the power of Little People.  I don't remember the first time I saw Ashiya.  I do remember being confused whether she was a girl or a boy (short hair's very misleading).  As the winter set in, suddenly she was hanging out with us in my classroom.

Now of course she greets me with a bug fat hug around my knees and a huge smile plastered on her face.  Any change in her mood changes the mood of my entire class.  We've all fallen flat for her. 

Saturday morning she was almost in tears.  I picked her up and she held on with all her life.  After lots of questioning about why she was so low, finally she revealed that no one was playing with her :P  I almost burst out laughing.  Two minutes later she was happily running after Devika in the compound.

Her pop-ins in class elicit unparallelled excitement and it's something we all crave for the entire day.  I dread the day she's going to move to Prep and to the other side of school. 

Till then, I'm stealing her!
