The proudest moment of my life occurred yesterday. Strangely, it wasn't anything that I accomplished – I was a mere spectator. It was the insane, overpowering experience of witnessing Towa’s innocent joy and pride of reading his first book to me.
Towa has had difficulties with reading this past school year. I know when something is difficult and doesn't come easy; you generally just flat out don't want to do it! Towa reminded me yesterday that when you dig in, work your butt off even when you don't want to do it – you go into the world feeling confident and set up for success.
Towa then promptly asked me if we could get a toy from Toys-R-Us. Best mic drop ever.
