It was a very surreal thing to get my daughters first report card. It was kind of cool to see that Im raising an over achiever who will struggle with perfection like her dad and the need to be ahead like her mom. Its weird to see something of yourself in your child’s kindergarten report card. She did wonderful all on her own. I love that we homeschool, so she doesn’t even know she gets a report card. I think I’d like to keep it that way as long as possible. I dont want her to stress about a piece of paper that says where she is at. She is where she is. I want to know all the details, but I’d rather she just tried to do her best and keep trying new things.
Emily loves her teacher too. Not me… well she does love me, but I mean our schools teacher that meets with us before report cards. I think emily thinks a teacher is someone who comes over that you get to talk to forever and tell how great you are and thats right up her alley. She literally thinks she is the best at something if she as dont it once. She is apparently a professional ballet dancer, laundry folder, artist, singer, and well, pretty much anything she does. Its a tough balance to keep her grounded and not braggy while trying to help her soar with courage to try things. Good thing I’m up for a challenge.
