proud daddy... :)
You must have brought her up right. You got a right to be proud!
Doing the best we can. We let her try as much stuff as we can. Try to expose her to as much As possible too.
We sent her to a Montessori school for pre school and kingarten. They have an awesome way of teaching at those schools. Now we pay tuition for her to go to a neighboring towns school. It's such a small town it's almost like a private school. Think there are like 30 kids in the entire 7th grade.
We try to show her how being a woman wasn't always as easy as it is today. Showed her that in the grand scheme of this country it's not really all that long ago that she wasn't allowed to vote. I tell her she has a duty to all the women before her to do a as well as possible and work as hard as possible. While down in ga this summer we went to the mighty 8 museum which was incredible but they had an entire wing honoring the women. I made her read everything in that wing. It told an awesome story about the discrimination women had to work through and how strong they needed to be to overcome it. It's funny at school she is experiencing some of those same things from boys her age. Talking **** about the girls sports teams and all. Funny thing is I've seen a lot of the girls in that school playing sports with rylee coming up for years. That school has some damn good female athletes in it. Those boys better hope they never have to play the girl teams . Lol.
He grand parents and a few others think we are too hard on her. Maybe at times we are. But they always comment how well behaved she is when they are around her too. I think sometimes we forget she just turned 13. We never treated like a baby (within reason). Always take her everywhere with us, she is always around adult conversation and can hold a conversation with an adult. Hell we were at her second sea cadet drill and we look over and she is talking with the commanders wife. Me and Jamie are like oh ****. What is she saying. Lol. Later that day the commanders wife comes up to us to say how impressed with her she was. Said she held a great conversation and maintained eye contact which is out of the norm for a young person. Made us feel proud.
She is just a great kid. Has her moments that I want to strangle her but she really is a good kid.
