proud mummy alert :0)
i actually thought twice/three/4 times before posting this and then decided that if i dont big up my kids noone else is going to and sometimes its ok to be proud :0)
2 words............... parents evening! i actually came away from this feeling soooo bad that i underestimated nathan and jess, it was parents evening on tues saw jess's teacher first, now i KNOW she is very happy and has taken to school like a duck to water but i hadnt realised how well, basically they have been testing her (without her knowing) and she is in the top 5 which is great BUT she is in the top five of the children in year 1!! (she has just started reception!) sooo smiles all round from me and graham marveling at how 2 people like us could produce a child that is whizz at all she does then we walked down to the other side of school to the year 2 area where i warned graham that we wouldnt be hearing the same amazing tale about our boy,as i KNOW he is a right dolly daydream! well you could have blown me clean away when we sat there being told that our son has a wonderful mind and his teacher now and the ones before have all said its been a privelidge to teach him,his reading ability is off their scales, (they only go as far as year 6) and he is in the very top percentage for maths, he is also in the gifted and talented programme for literacy and music/arts ( i have no idea what this means though?? was too gobsmacked to ask! she just showed me a list with his name on it ) i honestly felt like crying that i didnt realise how well they are both doing, i was just happy for them to be happy, i knew nathan was good at reading as he has been plodding his way through the harry potters since last year when he was in year 1 but i was like that LOVED reading but that was at the expense of everything else, rubbish at maths and sciences etc and i just assumed they were both like me.
we havnt told them quite how well they are doing at school, just that the teachers were really pleased with them and that we saw their work and were also really pleased, and they were both chuffed to think that everyone is happy with them :0) i just feel sorry for poor molly, the double act she has to follow when she starts school!
soooo, sorry for self indulgent MY KIDS post! just wanted it noted somewhere how very proud i am. :0)

Don't you DARE apologise! Way to go Jess and Nathan!!!!!
(Maybe his praying has paid off hehe :)
I have a big huge grin all over my chops now!!!!
Well done Nathan and Jess, and to you and Graham for bringing up 2 very clever children (and I'm sure Molly and the new baby will follow suit!). It's a lovely feeling isn't it when the teachers are full of praise for your kids isn't it, Jade is in the top group for everything, I was nearly in tears at her last parents evening!
I don't think it's self indulgent at all, I think you have every right to boast!!

Oh my word Phil! Do NOT apologise!! That is absoultely fabulous and you have every right to be so happy and proud, it is a sad world when you feel you can't even share such wonderful happy news for fear of upsetting someone, AND if someone was to be put out by your post, then they are obviously sadsacks! ;)
I am over the moon for you all, you obviously have a clever little brood and good on you for sharing it with us! :)))))
Love n hugs
