Zachary was picked for his 1st grade to be a Longwood (name of his school) Leader. This past month they worked on the character trait of respect. Zach had earned the opportunity to be a leader last year, but for the character trait of cooperation and I was as equally as proud.

But as he gets older, wiser, mouth-ier, test-ier, sass-ier, etc. with us at home... I was wondering if he would earn such an accomplishment two years in a row at school.
Parenting is a challenge from day one and sometimes after a having some difficult times at home with dis-respectfulness, its nice to be reassured he is making us proud at school.
This was truly another proud moment and of course, and I must toot my own horn for a milla-second, as it must be a true reflection of our parenting! :-) Just kidding!
Congrats Zachary, your Mom & Dad couldn't be more proud of you!
