A boasting thread....

[carben]

I know boasting and stealth boasting is very frowned on but some of us are bursting with pride and there is no one else to tell who would understand what the hell we are talking about. My parents have no clue about 'levels' and DH pretends to understand but doesn't really. I have twins aged 7 , born at the end of Aug but due in October. Rocky start in Nursery and Reception - DS referred to EP and speech therapy - and put on SA+. DD had social difficulties and rarely spoke and was ridiculously shy. At the end of Foundation they got scores of 66 and 77. By the end of Yr 2 they both got: Reading Level 3; Writing 2a and Maths 2a. Have just got this years reports and they have both got Level 4c for reading; Level 3b for writing and DD got a 3a for Maths and DS got a 3b.

They are not out of the woods socially and I am pretty sure that my son has mild dyspraxia. But considering they really should be just finishing Yr2 I am amazed at their progress. However I can't spout this in RL but I hope you all forgive me for doing it here.

It's not boasting it's a proud moment and rightfully deserved

Great to see that they have caught up so much and now doing so well

What a lovely idea. There's nothing wrong with being proud and it sounds as if you have every reason to want to tell the world how great your children are.

That's great :)

Hi five all of you and teachers!

That's so lovely! Well done you, them and teachers!

Well done you. It's great to hear these stories.

You have every reason to feel proud, delighted and relieved. That's so good go hear

Ah, it's stealth boasting that's frowned on, justified pride is fine! Well done.

That is brilliant! Congratulations to your children - it sounds like they have really blossomed.

I rather like reading an honest brag. Sometimes children really do just do stuff that makes you absolutely burst with pride.

That's such a lovely story, well done your DCs and VERY IMPORTANTLY well done you for the all the hard work I expect you put in.

Well done to your dcs and what a lovely idea for a thread. So glad they have caught up to this level, I think they deserve a treat or a mummy recognition. We haven't got our levels yet, hope they're as good as yours.

Lovely to see a proud mummy - well done your kids :)

Well done - success stories are always lovely!

That's great news! Great news is always good.

Well done to your twins

Well done to your twins! Awesome progress

Well done! It's so wonderful when are kids do well. Boast away... You deserve to be proud!

Our not are

Nothing wrong with sharing tales of hard won achievements. Congratulations to all !

DS (Y1) was very excited as he has just been awarded a pen in assembly. Every day now he comes home to tell me what he was allowed to write in pen rather than pencil. It is quite funny to see him so excited about something like that!

Its lovely to hear about DCs amazing progress, there is a lot of putting people/achievements down on here and its lovely to hear your DCs amazing progress! Well done to you all!!!!!
