10 9 7

I now officially, have a 10 year old. 1 decade.
She's just cute.
She loves animals. 1 year it was cats, next it was dogs, then lizards, then eagles. Now it's chickens.
The beginning of this year, she was really struggling. She wasn't turning in homework, she didn't care, she would cry every time grades came out and we threatened to put her on A track. Finally, last term I told her, I am not fighting with you at the end of the year. I am leaving what track you are on, up to you. If you want to get your butt in gear, you can stay on D, if you are missing assignments and still getting C's and D's, you have chosen A track. I will not say another word about it. And lo and behold, 4 weeks in a row with no missing assignments, and 3 A's and 2 B's. I don't think I have every been more pleased with her.
