I'd like to brag on my kid for a minute. Most parents we know have been
celebrating their kid passing all of their SOLs, making honor roll, or
having straight A's. I'm celebrating that our kid improved in all
classes this year, went up a few grade levels in reading ability and,
for the first time in his life, passed all classes on his report card!
He didn't make honor roll (yet!), or pass all of his SOLs, or get
straight A's. BUT, we are thankful for his hard work. It was tiring at
times, and I felt like the homework warden but, it was worth it to see
his face when he saw his grades! (I may have even cried!) We are definitely celebrating his hard work!
