She had forgotten to tell me my sons were having awards at the flag ceremony this morning. Luckily she reached me in time and I stopped by for the ceremony.
S was first. He had an award for good citizenship - "For being helpful". I was really proud of him!
A was later. His award was for an achievement - "For super English". I was very proud again!
And then - after school. We were almost there. We met our neighbour and I chatted with her for about a minute. Then, off goes the fire alarm! And guess who trigged it? You're right! That was my son... I felt like the very best mom and were prouder than ever of my very smart son that had to pick on that alarm trigger.
Luckily we prevented the fire engine from coming...
åååå, forstår GODT du er stolt!! :) Er ikke amerikanerne ekstra flinke på sånt - diplomer og medaljer for alt mulig? Det må jo være veldig motiverende for ungene. Kanskje vi skulle lært en ting og to av dem (og så kan de heeelt sikkert lære en ting og to av oss også - hva nå det skulle være) :)
ReplyDeleteDen der tredje stoltheten .. hehe.. sånt som skjer ;)
Amerikanerne er veldig flinke på sånt, Berit! Og alle barna får en eller annen form for "award" i løpet av året!
ReplyDeleteKanskje de kan lære av oss å ha glass som må knuses på brannalarmene? *Lister meg ut*
