Elayna's teacher: "You've given her such maturity. She is so happy when you're around."

I hope she always will be. Not always like always, because no one's always happy with their mom. But you know what I mean.

I have so many thoughts on this school and this teacher, but I'm too tired to compose them now...

However! I have word that her band teacher is giving out certificates tomorrow. And a few prizes.

And a certain someone is getting the Most Improved Player of the Year award. A certain little someone who went from neglecting her flute utterly after school, complaining when requested to practice, to practicing just for kicks, to memorizing whole pieces just because she likes to play them. A certain little someone who's zoomed up the ranks to first chair.

She doesn't know yet... :)
