Tonight was Eden's first grade program at school. A few days ago she came home excited to tell me that she had a speaking part in the program. I was shocked and a little (or a lot) worried since she was so scared in kindergarten that she didn't even make it up on the stage. My goal for her this year was just for her to get up on stage and sing the songs, but since she was so excited about it, we practiced and practiced her one line and I prayed for the best. Her teacher also told me that she had picked another student to say the line with Eden so that if she backed out, it would still be ok.
Imagine our surprise when Eden confidently walked up to the microphone and spoke her line with no fear! We were SO proud of her! She had come so far in the past two years and I am so thankful to all of her teachers who have encouraged and pushed her beyond her comfort zone. What a wonderful accomplishment for Eden!
