So proud


I vaguely remember Madalyn asking me how to spell "sticker", and a few other random words last week.  Last night, I found the cards she must have been writing, along with  a sealed envelope to her teacher.  I'm so happy  that she is proud of getting stickers, but I must admit the cards made me sad thinking about the many times she didn't feel proud for the numbers she got several times per week. Since starting Focalin, she has had smiley faces each and every day.  I hope the medicine continues to help her do "good listening" at school and home.

Very very cool that she has a mom so doggedly determined to make sure her daughter becomes the utmost best she can be.

What kind of world would we live in if everyone had that kind of force behind them?
