Report cards haven't been sent yet, but it would appear that Only Child is going to have all A's! She received a certificate for Outstanding Academic Excellence from the President's Education Awards Program. She was rightly proud of the award but was a bit disheartened that it had to come from such a dumb President. She also received a letter for academics; they're not just for athletes anymore... about damn time.
She also brought home this poem that she wrote for English class...

When I'm afraid
you're always there
to tell me
it's all right
When I was sick
and couldn't sleep
you held my hand
the entire night
When I was small
you carried me on a pillow
and took me for
a magic pillow ride.
At the Father Daughter Dance
we danced and laughed
until our feet were to sore
to carry on
When Mom went on a trip
we stayed up late
ate lots of cookie dough
and slept until noon
You're a great Dad
and an even better
Best Friend
I love you, Dad
Having a bright child is an awesome thing. Having a kind and caring child is a truly wonderful thing. Having a great relationship with your kid is even better.
