"D" again

When it comes to achievements, Nic has bagged many.

She really surprised me with her piano results. As I have mentioned many times, N simply dislikes repetitive work. She drags her feet to the piano 3 times a week for just 15min each (the least I impose on her when her teacher encourages a daily practice of 30min each for her grade).

We went to the counter to retrieve her results and when I saw it, I was literally speechless.

Then, I asked N to read for herself.

Me " Nicole, can you see your name and grade?"
N " Yes "
Me " Do you think you did well?"
N " I dont know"
Me" What did you score?"

N " D....did I pass?" (This little girl assumed that A was the best grade and obviously D was something quite bad)
Me" So, D is for Donkey?" ( I was pulling her legs. Nic kept very quiet)
Me " No sweetie, You did very well! You passed with flying colours! You scored a Distinction again! Good job!"

N " Really? I got a distinction? hahaha... you tricked me! " (still in disbelief)

There she went hummning about and jumping with joy! The first person she wanted to share the good news with was her grandma! Then, she remembered our promises to her. She would assume L 's ipad and I would get her a pair of roller blades! She definitely deserved them all!

Well, I will have to speak with her teacher to assess if she would be ready to take on the next challenge next year - Grade 5 that is! Regardless, I think N has done a fabulous job, as always and we are thankful for the blessing!
