A big achievement

Today was a great day in the 6.5 years of Evan's life. He was recently retested for the Enrichment program at school (he missed the first test by 1 point on one section of the test) and today he received the letter that he had been accepted. When I told him this afternoon about the letter, he literally danced around the kitchen. Jason & I made very little emphasis (beforehand) on getting accepted -- we told him it would be a neat program, but if he didn't get in, it would be ok and that he could try again later if he wanted. But apparently, he thought it was important. He kept saying, "I can't believe I'm in Enrichment!" He said to Grant, "Grant, I passed my test for Enrichment -- you should tell me congratulations!" He also told me, "Mom, I tried my best and I passed!" It was so sweet. I delighted in his pride and told him, "That's all you can ever do -- try your best."
