100 Days of Happiness Day 36

I asked Quinny how her day was yesterday when I picked her up from school. "Okay," she told me, as she often does. She then went into a detailed account of the game of tag she played at recess, and also how her lip felt very dry. Then, as an after thought, she told me she got called on stage at lunch to sit with the principal. "What!?" I asked. "Yeah, an award..." Quin said casually as she tried to find my chapstick in the car, as this was clearly the more important matter at hand. Sure enough, she whips out this award from her backpack this morning. Again, no big deal to her. I, on the other hand, am pretty impressed. And forgive me for gushing over my Quinny-Girl... I am so proud of her, and couldn't be happier that she was recognized for things I see in her all the time. She is thoughtful and conscientious, and a very good decision maker. I know I cannot take full responsibility for the great person she is and continues to become... She was born that way and we just have the great pleasure of watching her grow. But she does make me very very happy, though.
