I felt anxiety going in. In a lot of ways, I felt like I was being assessed at my parental skills. The last 3.5 years of shaping this little dude was finally going to be reflected back to me. Between my efforts and God's design of his individual little spirit....what would they say? There was a chance that he could be a totally different kid at school than at home. It happens, right?
Alas, he had rave reviews. High marks in all areas.
"Excells"
"Very very good for his age, especially for boys."
"Such a joy to have in class. I just love that smile each morning."
"He is frequently the one to recognize the larger numbers on the calendar."
Im so so proud of my little guy. And proud of me too. There are so many pressures we put on ourselves as moms. Comparing to other moms and other kids and books and blogs and facebook posts. But, I did good. We, did good. Im glad, because we really tried. We desire more than anything to help form intelligent, loving, respectful, passionte, God loving children. It is the most important life goal for me.
So today affirmed not only my amazing little boy who I cant wait to keep watching grow and grow and grow....but my efforts as well. I know that Landon is his own person. I can teach and shape and direct but I cant control him. Even at 3.5 years old, he makes his own decisions, has his own views and desires. I love that. But I know that a lot of who he will be will come from us and what we instill in him.
So, we all passed our first test:)
