Peter & I challenged Conleigh to bring her grades up in the last nine weeks of school. She had been on the A/B Honor roll during the first 18 weeks of school. Then, with the spring term, came a little bit of third grade attitude and less effort on the grade front. And it showed on the report card.
We know that time with us without her siblings is very special to Conleigh. So, we offered her a nice meal out if she would bring her grades up. She didn't know that I was watching the grades from behind the scenes (Home Access Center), but as soon as that offer was on the table, her grades skyrocketed.
Needless to say, she ended third grade on the A/B honor roll.
Peter and I took her out last Thursday evening to Eddie V's. One of our favorite Austin restaurants. It did not disappoint. She was very impressed. She loved the wait staff in tuxedos and the ambiance of the restaurant. She acted so grown up. For dinner, Conleigh had grilled shrimp and then the restaurant treated her to a Godiva chocolate cake with ice cream dessert...complete with Congratulations written in chocolate.
Peter and I enjoyed special time with our girl as much as she enjoyed it!
Cheers to a successful ending to third grade.
