I am probably the proudest parent alive tonight. My son came home from school today and told us that he has been elected to the Student Council. He is in the 4th grade and got the most votes. I am bursting with pride. You have to know my son to understand how perfect this is for him. He is such a "rule guy." He wants to be a judge one day and he is so serious and driven. I just love that little guy. I asked him what his first order of business would be as a member of the council and he said that he is going to work to get organic, rBST free milk in the lunch room. I almost crashed the car. I wanted to hug him and kiss him all over his face (but I withheld the kisses because he is 10 and that is embarassing). He is such a little up and coming activist. It is so great to see your child grow and accomplish. Having him at 19 was very hard. There were many times I felt like he was cheated because I couldn't give him everything he deserved (emotionally and materially). I worked hard at becoming a good mother and role model. I didn't know what to do most of the time but I always taught him to always be honest and respectful of others, stand up for himself and befriend those who get picked on (because those are the people that are the most interesting and the best to have as friends). I know I am being a little sappy but I am just really proud of my boy. He is becoming a little man and doing what the loves.
