Self Esteem

We had a certificate night with some other home schoolers last night. It was a chance to praise each child for an area of excellence. For us, this was a good year academically.

My husband presented each of our children with a certificate, said some good words about each one and we gave them each roses.

On the way home, the youngest asked, "Why do people give other people flowers?"

"To make them feel special," I said. "Do you feel special?"

She didn't skip a beat before boasting,

"I AM special!"

Grandpa thinks she's right! He's mighty proud of all his Special Girls.
