Proud Mommy Moment #losing count

[janedavitt]

Eleanor just came home from high school with not one but two awards: 'Senior Artist of Distinction' and 'Excellent Performance in Graphics Animation'

So proud of her! She had to wear something nice so I persuaded her into a dress, heh, the horror.

Congratulations, E! And oh my gosh, how you look like your mom! (PS Your mom was right about the dress... as she probably is about most things.)

[janedavitt]

From your lips ;-)) Thank you on her behalf.

Congratulations, Eleanor! \o/

Also: My goodness, you and she look so much alike. Hi, pretty ladies! :-)

[janedavitt]

Thank you! She's got my nose, but the red hair...not sure where that's from :-)

+wibbles+ Why do they grow up so fast?

[janedavitt]

Tell me about it! Sheesh, so fast...

Congrats to E - and I hope that she will excuse my mile-wide grin at her 'FFS, mother!' expression. :-)

[janedavitt]

I was grinning too :-)

[green_grrl]

No kidding you are losing count--she is a superstar! Congrats!

[janedavitt]

Thank you! ::hugs:: She's so talented bless her.

Clearly, you are a very mean mom. ;) Also...Congratulations to E for her triumphs! Awesome.

*hugs*

Mean mommy award goes to me, for sure ::evil grin::

Hey, that's great! But oh, a dress - as you say, the horror of it! (I found culottes back in the nineties, got two, and those are still my 'dress' clothes for times when trousers aren't really appropriate. I can't remember when I last bought anything new to wear, though I will have to get more shoes fairly soon - like, maybe, early 2014.)

[janedavitt]

It's funny because Lauren is a total fashionista....

[bluewolf458]

I suspect E and I must come from the same mould - My criterion is a) is it comfortable and practical and b) do I think I suit it. Something that's in fashion is usually neither, especially b) with regard to the colour. And buying a lot of stuff new every year just because 'it's the fashion' always seems to me to be a terrible waste of money :-)
