Have we got a boasty topic thread - can I show off anyway?

I just feel like telling that dd age 7 in the last week passed her first (external) piano exam and also passed a swimming assessment to get put up a group at her swimming club (she had to do butterfly, backstroke, front crawl and backstroke perfectly).

Well done to all on here (get him signed for Bastia Youth Team Marslady and then you can all have free Corsican holidays), nice to see lots of accomplishments listed!

Another thing to add.

DT2 has just cut his first tooth and attempted to take his first step today.

DD said 'I love you, mama' for the first time last night.

that's lovely. [soppy grin]

Yes, you're right Yorkiegirl, I did immediately buy the Grade 1 book for dd and she's had a little practice already! Somehow I don't think piano is featuring strongly in her thoughts at the moment though!

Can I come in here cos I'm feeling very miserable about Xmas and inlaws BUT both DS1 and DD got the class prize at the end of term. I went all weepy with pride when DD's teacher told me cos she's only just started in Reception and is still all tiny -- DD that is, not her teacher, who must think I'm a right menopausal old saddo
Loads of congrats to your DD, CAM.

Well done to your clever children Dannie - you're not menopausal just a Proud Mum (and justifiably so!)
