Full disclosure. This post is about a recent, very proud parent moment. (Yes, we're bragging on our little Aubrey for just a bit).
Our little Aubrey doesn't usually give up. When something is hard, she doesn't just say, "I can't," but she actually tries hard (most days). When she wants something, she problem solves to figure out how exactly she can get the task done. She does takes initiative to get things done!
That's Aubrey and we're pretty proud of her perseverance and good attitude to keep trying.
It's pretty special when someone else recognizes her abilities and strengths. Her teacher recognized her for having initiative and integrity in class and she nominated Aubrey for these special character traits award last month! It was pretty special for us as her parents, and pretty special for Aubrey.
Brandon and I both took the morning off of work to be there for this special event. Although the assembly last for less than 30 minutes, it was worth it to be there for our little girl!
She was surprised and encouraged that she received this award, and she was even more surprised to see us all sitting in the audience to celebrate this special time with her.
As a parent you question almost everything you do in regards to your kids! Almost every decision has them at the center of it. As parents, you wonder if you're raising a polite, respectful, giving, loving (and the list goes on and on) child. It was so special that someone else recognized her work ethic and it made us feel pretty proud as parents.
Way to go Aubrey! We're so proud of you!
