Do you want to brag on your children?

1 Answer

Answer :

My son got straight As for the first marking period! He also told me that he wants to postpone ********* until his dad gets home from Iraq (I thought that was awesome because he knows it’s more about who we celebrate with than when we celebrate). He also has been helping me a lot around the house since my husband left (like helping taking out the trash and putting away his clothes). He’s awesome!
