Emersyn came home with Big Ted, again. When I asked Emmy how she earned Big Ted, she replied, “the other teacher gave it to me for being so good”. This is the third time she has been given Big Ted from a supply teacher. She must be a star student when Ms Nicholson is gone. I asked Emmy about the difference between Big Ted and Special Ted. She replied, “Big Ted is better than Special Ted because you earn Big Ted. Special Ted is just for doing something well that day”.

Of course, Eleri wanted to hold Big Ted.
