Proud momma

November 19, 2012
We had a big day today.

Pearl passed off her last "green" book and is now reading chapter books at school! She is very, very, very, very, very (repeat 100 zillion times) excited about this accomplishment. We breezed through her first chapter book, even after explaining we could take a couple of days to read them if we needed to. Now instead of us just signing her calendar that we read every night, Pearl has to do a short book report on the chapter book she's read.

I am very proud of her.

And then my four-legged "child" passed her 7-week obedience class. I'll admit, by the second week I figured it would be impossible. And even though Blu can't come or stay very well and gets horribly distracted by people on our walks (and she still pulls on the leash), she can now sit, shake, stay (if it involves a treat two inches from her nose), "leave it", "drop it", "take it", and knows that when I yell "uh uh" it means she is doing something bad. Oh, and she can rollover. Only dog in her graduating class to master that trick!

I am one proud momma today of all my children, two-legged and four!
