Makes my heart go pitter patter

Another VERY PROUD Mom moment...from my teenager!

He had volleyball camp at school this week & his coach is a new teacher at his school who will also be his homeroom teacher. We had "parent orientation" on Sunday & his teacher commented on Ryan's leadership ability & he is ALWAYS the one encouraging others to do their best & helping those in need! YEA!!! It's one of those things that we talk about A LOT...it's awesome when another adult notices it and takes the time to give you feed back!

Speaking of proud...he's completed his ENTIRE reading goal FOR THE YEAR...in the past 2 weeks. He's knocked out Eragon, Eldest and all 7 books in the Harry Potter series! He HATES to be behind and HATES to have deadlines looming. He was frustrated with himself when he didn't meet one of his self-imposed goals for his progress on his book! I wish I could be so goal oriented!
