Words can mean more than we know

I had an email conversation with Justin's kindergarten teacher today. I am working on a slide show project for open house at the school in May. In the email I indicated that Justin was becoming a rhyming machine. Rhyming has been a challenge for Justin to learn. As it turns out Justin's teacher told him how happy she was for him when he could rhyme some words that rhyme with stop in class last week. Justin didn't really react. Since I told her how Justin's confidence has grown in this area over the past week she realizes how her comments made more impact on him than she thought. You just never know how what we say to people will be received. His brothers aren't loving it though - they are getting overwhelmed with rhyming words all day long.
