a Clare story

The marvelous response from Clare's teacher to the letter I posted below has me remembering one of my favorite preschool-Clare stories...


[scene: Clare and preschool friends playing castle with some small fairy tale type figures. A princess doll falls on the floor near Clare.]

Teacher: "Clare, can you help the princess get up off the floor?"

Clare, calmly: "No. She can get up by herself."
