Braggin' Rights Baby!

Last week was the first of 2 parent teacher conferences for this school year. You always go into these meetings a little nervous, hoping that they praise your child for not only academic success but behavior and social success as well, and you walk away with some constructive criticism that you as a parent can help your child with.

We are so proud of Bailey this year. We got an excellent report not only with her academic works but her social behavior as well (except she talks too much). This in a year that has been very difficult for Bailey to adjust to; more than one teacher, book reports, science reports, harder subjects and more responsibility for being accountable in her work. Bailey did so well that she will be listed on the honor roll! Fabulous! I'm beaming! We showed so much excitement at the news that Bailey too was beaming. Then when we returned to the car Bailey asked "What is an Honor Roll?"

What subjects did she excel at so far this year? Well she got an A+ in music (Dad was thrilled) AND an A in science (mom was thrilled)! Go Bailey! Go Bailey!

And what about McKenna? Well, good news for her as well. McKenna's teacher reports that she has come a long way socially from the beginning of the school year. Mom and Dad are THRILLED. And just this Sunday (I kid you not, after all it is not a laughing matter har har) she walked right into Primary without looking back. This is a huge milestone for my little girl . . . and I am I feeling a little bit sad and nostalgic that even though both my children are on the road of growth and development, ultimately this is the same road leading to independence from Mark and I. Don't worry, we'll take it and enjoy every step.
