If you have read my blog for a while you know that my daughter Alex often makes my Proud Mommy Moments, but it often isn't for bragging purposes. Well today that changes. Three days a week I join a lot of ladies at church for a butt kicking workout. The kids run around the gym and play while the moms work up a good sweat.
Overall the kids do great and there aren't too many problems- but there is one big temptation- the stage. What little kid doesn't want to go up and dance on a stage? The trouble is with lots of little kids accidents happen. After one little girl fell of the stage one week I told Alex she was absolutely not allowed to go on the stage.
On Monday, the kids were playing and running around as usual. Soon one of the little boys pushed a chair over and climbed up onto the stage, soon another and another joined including Alex's best friend. Alex stood at the base of the stage looking up.
"Alex" I simply called. She looked at me and then looked back at her friends. I continued grunting through the situps keeping my eyes on her. Several minutes passed. Eventually some of the moms came and got their kids down. Alex- she was still on the floor where she remained the whole time.
I was very proud and made sure to talk with her on the way home about how proud I was, especially when all of the other kids were doing it. Now let's just hope she continues to make me proud like this.
My awesome girl
What is your Proud Mommy moment this week?
Great Proud Moment and I love all that red hair! My Girl made my PMM this week too!
ReplyDeletethat is so awesome give her a hug for me for being a great little girl
ReplyDeleteaww, I bet you were proud! What a good girl you have
ReplyDeleteShe is an awesome girl! Already making good decisions!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever girl for listening and not caving to peer pressure! Lovely girl x
ReplyDeleteAwesome! It's always a good feeling when they actually listen and obey you! :o) Good for her!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome that she stayed off the stage. I bet it was awfully hard though to resist going up there. Why were the kids up there anyway? I am guessing some Moms just didn't care? Hope that doesn't sound to mean. She is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great moment! I love that she is thinking for herself already! That should make you proud!
ReplyDeleteaaaawwwwww...
ReplyDeleteAwww... that IS proud! I often "catch" my kids being obedient when it would be so easy not to be. It really is a proud moment when that happens.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you made sure to let her know you caught her being good! It's sometimes hard for me to remember to do that!
Good girl Alex! Even with her feisty red hair, she gets it! Have I told you that she's soooooo beautiful?
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed! Awesome! Good job Alex!
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for Alex! May she always be stronger than peer pressure! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd once again, that picture of her is so darling!! CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS!!!!
What a sweetheart listening to her momma!! Yesterday I was driving the kids home and Ryan says out of the blue, "Mommy, I bit someone today". I was like, What?! Why? He said this other kid pushed him. I said- we dont' bite our friends. He said- are you sad mommy? I said yes. silence.
ReplyDeletelater I said, Did you tell daddy what you did? HE said I didn't do anything! ugh!
Rightly so, it's so hard to not follow. So proud of Alex too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful PMM!!! I love it when they actually listen even when it is SO hard to do so!
ReplyDeleteShe is such a pretty pretty girl!
ReplyDeleteYay Alex!! That's so great. I love that picture of her. She's looking like such a big kid now.
ReplyDeleteShe is adorable! I love when my girls don't follow the crowd, what a tough decision for them though. A very proud moment indeed!
ReplyDeleteYay Alex! While you were exercising your abs, she was exercising that self-control :) SO hard for kids at that age, especially when their buddies are doing fun banned stuff!
ReplyDelete(I am soooo behind... thank you so much for the prayers!)

ReplyDeleteWhat a good girl, I love it when mine are the good ones when others are not exactly doing the right things.
