Could we have a 'showing off' thread

It would be great to have somewhere for people to go and just blurt 'ds (5) is on stage 9 ORT' and others to pile in with references to their own dcs excellence. Or g and t or swimming levels or learning to do laces (ds, hyper mobile fingers, age ten, fantastic).
I'm really fed up of pretend concerned threads 'aibu to worry that dd is only 3a in year 2' or 'what does NC L6 mean in year 5?'
It's totally okay to celebrate out dcs, can't we just provide a space?

Actually maybe we could have a 'fantastically proud parent' subject

Newpup that is fantastic. How lovely to be so proud.
Old beanz- that's really bright; your ds must be super pleased at the challenge.
My ds has mastered laces. Finally!
Little ds has gone up two book levels.

Can i join in?

This week i'm really, really proud of my Y4 DS who was sent to do maths with the Y6 children!

And my Y7 DD is flourishing at high school, made loads of new friends and has put herself forward for things i thought she'd shy away from.

okay I 'll start! Grin I have the most fantastic. wonderful DDs. They are both stunning, clever, funny and charming. I see them with their friends and I wonder how the two most beautiful girls are mine. They are musical, sporty, academic and more importantly, kind, sweet, generous and thoughtful. They astound me every day and I am thankful for them every second of every day. Raising them is the highlight of my life and I cherish every moment. Grin

Haha, naughty dog.
Yes that's what I think - I'd rather not be annoyed by someone twisting themselves in knots with a disingenuous 'really worried' post.
I'm happy for people to celebrate their dcs!

This is a great idea, actually we should be able to celebrate our dcs achievements without
