Today Dylan came home with a huge announcement. He was named 7th grade Student of the Month. I'm so proud of him. He completely deserves this nomination. Unfortunately, my first thought was "oh crap, what are we going to say to Maddie?" The girl has serious Jan Brady Syndrome. Anything that happens to Dylan that is good, is just worse for her. She can never be happy for him, just sad that nothing good ever happens to her. Never mind that I repeatedly remind her of all the good things that have happened to her. It's not the same. Fortunately, she came home today with good news. Her class was chosen to have the fire fighters in her class room and an ice cream party for turning in the best fire escape plans. So she was not at all depressed about Dylan's student of the month award. God bless Dylan, because he made a big deal out of Maddie's exciting news, because he didn't want her to feel left out.
