I have to brag about my daughter....again!

I know alot of you are probably tired of hearing my brag about my kids and how wonderful they are, but I must go on! :p As you mom's of school age kids know, our kids all took ISTEP this fall, as did my DD. We got her test results back yesterday along with her midterm grades, and I could not be more proud of her! Not only does she have all A's, but she tested a "high" on all of her reading and language arts tests with an 80% or higher compared to the district and national average! :7 :7 :7

Her teacher emailed me to come in to sit with her for a conference one morning, and I was blown away by what she had said! Mariah is so helpful in class, she encourages those that are behind in their work and helps her classmates when she is finished with her work, she has a perfect score in Spelling and on all of her Math tests, she works very diligently and she is just an all around wonderful student. She said that she cannot wait to see what Mariah will become when she grows up, and she knows that DD will be great someday. This is not a teacher who compliments readily and really is pretty critical, so you can imagine the tears of joy that were streaming down my face when I got into the van! I know that Mariah is wonderful, but to hear someone else express such genuine and high praise of your child is just... there are no words strong enough to describe how I feel! Overwhelming doesn't even begin to describe it. And last year Layne got the citizenship and lunchroom award for conduct and behavior for the whole year. How did I get so lucky? My kids are just so wonderful!

Thank you so much for listening to a mother's boasting, as long as this was! :7 :7 :7 :7

Missy - that's so wonderful! I'm very happy for you, but you ought to know that your kids are the way they are because YOU are such a wonderful influence in their life. They couldn't help but be any other way:)
 
Missy,

I'm not at all surprised. It's all your hard work paying off! As for Mariah encouraging and helping others--I'd say she takes after her mom. Good job, Missy!:)

Missy, keep on bragging! It's so nice to hear parents rave about their kids. I can be a curmedgeon when it comes to kids, so it's great to hear positive news about today's kids.

And, as Shelley says, they get it from somewhere. Nice work, mom. :)

That is so wonderful Missy - brag away! And as a former teacher, I can tell you that you play a HUGE role in that! You should be very proud in your 'mothering' skills as well! Thanks for sharing!
 
Brag away!
As a teacher, I love to have students like Mariah. She sounds like not only an excellent student, but a good person as well.

Wonderful parents make wonderful kids!
 
Missy,
You should be proud! I don't think it's luck, but wonderful parenting .......as they say, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.

Congrats,
Robin:)
