I think my child is beginning to become empathetic and sensitive to others. We've been very deliberate in helping him develop these so I feel proud of him.
Less significantly I am proud that at 3.5 he has no concept of video games yet. Ha ha.

That she's really adaptable girlfriend does great in most places and is easy to transition

At 4 years old he's reading. In fact he has been reading for a very long time... since 3-ish?

She is crazy verbal. At her 2 year well-baby visit, our dr commented that she had more like a 4 year old's vocabulary. Every day she says more and more words and longer and longer sentences, and it just cracks us up and amazes us.

@travellingbee: We had our daycare "conferences" this week and I was proud the teacher told us DS is always smiling and makes others smile and if he does get upset it's brief and he recovers extremely quickly. I thought that was a pretty good report for a ten month old!

I love how dd1 is always doling out compliments. To her family and friends of course, but even to strangers! She has inspired me to follow suit and I hope she never loses her kind heart.
Dd2 is such an easy-going baby and has the sweetest temperament, for now at least!

So many things...... I love my kiddo to pieces! She did make a stand for a friend who has a physical impairment due to a chronic condition. Another boy was laughing/teasing her classmate and LO told him not to laugh at her or make fun of her so he stopped.

I think both of my boys are delightful. B is hilarious and kind and generous and empathetic and a better big brother than I ever imagined. W is the smiliest baby I have ever come across, and super easygoing. I'm not sure I should be proud because I think it's nature rather than nurture, but whatever.

@808love: oh my gosh sweetest story ever!!! I bet you were so, so proud.
-
LO1 is very friendly and social and has always had a huge vocabulary. I had a hard time when I was younger because I was extremely shy, so I'm glad he's able to make friends easily. He's also very polite and has the best manners. LO2 is still young, but he also has an awesome personality and I'm excited to watch him as he gets older.
@808love: So sweet! One of my top parenting goals is to raise kids like that
-
I'm proud that my daughter eats so well. She also speaks incredibly well and has an excellent vocabulary.
-
@irene: that's incredible! At 4-1/2 I'm sure DD will be reading soon, I just have no idea how to get her to make the final connection. She thinks she's too little to read.
-
@lilteacherbee: @Mrs. Pen: Awww. Thanks so much! She said the boy laughed again after she told him once so she had to talk to him a second time to make him stop. (Good follow up.)
There is a backstory I feel compelled to share though, for whatever it is worth, as imperfect parents of our beautifully diverse kids. At first, when LO would tell me about a friend with the shaved head she didn't think anything of it. Then when I found out from her mom what caused it, I spoke to LO a little more about it. Whatever I told her, I must have messed it up because LO said to me privately, "Whoa, that's weird." Then I had to have a lengthy conversation about how we all have things that make us different, whether others can see it easily or not. You need to stand up for friends, think about how you would feel....etc. I can't remember exactly the talk but something along those lines. So when she told me the proud moment story a few days later, I almost didn't believe her. Like she was just telling me what I wanted to hear because it was such a perfect application. A few conversations and weeks later, I realized, she really did take things to heart and help her friend.

@JennyD: one thing a preschool teacher told me was, when we read to him, try to point to each word we read so he can follow. That was 1.5 years ago when he was recognizing simple sight words? I am not sure if it helped but he was literally reading not long after that. Bottom line is don't sweat it because I heard kids learn to read at 5. I just honestly don't know how that happened with us and we are so thankful and proud of him

For a 4 year old my DD has an amazing memory and is very precise when she does things.
My DS eats like a beast. He's almost 3. DD always has had a hard time eating. DS will eat/try almost anything you give him.
