My guys: Gotta love 'em

HardPlace may not have stellar grades, but his teachers selected him to receive a significant 6th grade honor. There are four categories of awards, with one boy and one girl receiving a certificate in each category:
  • Active Christian
  • Life-Long Learner
  • Effective Communicator
  • Problem Solver
HardPlace received the award for Integrated Individual, the person who best exemplifies all four characteristics. I am so proud of him.

Rock, on the other hand, followed some girls into their bathroom. He received a discipline slip.  It was totally innocent, just following them in while talking, but he still crossed a privacy line that the school takes very seriously. The child makes me crazy.

I love them both beyond the telling.

I hear ya Alicia. Boys can be challenging, but are so much fun. Not all smart people are great human beings. It's much more appreciated to raise compassionate, caring human beings than just kids who are focused on academics. all just my opinion of course. Congrats on the award and your little one will be just fine. He's young yet. Anja.
