My 8 yr. old daughter and I filled up her new watercolor tote tonight. It was her gift for a great school year. She really hit some milestones and excelled like noone's business. Her teacher said she progressed more than any student he has ever had! She doesn't get to carry it until tomorrow, which is her official last day of school... but we were both so darned excited, we filled it up today and modeled a few pics. I just HAD to share
oh my gosh- the cute is too much for me to handle! you should put a warning on this post!! good for her, and good to see a child being rewarded for doing something GOOD for a change!
Congratulations to you and to her! I love reward models that don't involve food. It's a lasting gift that she'll be encouraged to appreciate and take care of! What did you guys fill it with?
Thanks everyone! When she comes in from playing with her neighbor friends, I will be sure to show her all the kind words! We put her wallet and cell phone in there along with a bobby jack keychain she wanted to hang from the front. She bought some Hannah Montana makeup the other day, in anticipation of her purse, so we found a spot in there for those items too. For an 8 yr. old, she sure can fill up a purse! LOL Gotta start em off young!! Plus, I thought it was a good way to teach her to care for her things... she knows how careful I am with my Coach bags, so she will want to do the same thing with hers.
Awww she's so cute! It fits her perfectly! I will NOT be showing this to my dd though. She doesn't need any enabling.
