Proud!

Yes, my children are brilliant, adorable, gifted, clever, and all of those other things that every other parent in the world attributes to their own children, but let me say this - my child is a sweetheart! A letter came home from school the other day, letting us know that Sadie had been picked as one of the school's 'good citizens.' Good citizens are kind to others and respectful of themselves, their teachers and the school. As a reward for this, the principal was hosting a pizza party lunch for them and presenting them with certificates. Sadie's teacher had handwritten a note at the bottom of the letter mentioning how Sadie has shown such kindness to a new student who is having trouble adjusting.

My heart just about burst open with pride over this letter. I told Sadie that of all the things she could possibly do and be, being kind makes me the most proud.

She is really excited, too...and chose her outfit and hairdo today with extra care. I'm so happy that she is who/how she is, and thrilled that her school notices and rewards the good kids. Can't wait to hear about her big day today!
