Scout has to log into a computer program at school and for part of his homework that is really complicated. In an effort to speed the process up, his teacher assigned them to learn the log-in and password and that they would be tested on it. She made the test a boys vs. girls test, and they were all hyped up. Each test, she randomly picks a boy’s name and a girl’s name out to compete. Last week, Scout was picked to represent the boys. He clocked in at 1min.12sec. and beat the girls. But upon a closer look, he made the error of skipping a letter and got DQ’d. He was totally bummed and his teacher said he hung his head as he walked back to the seat while the girls celebrated.

Fast forward to today. The test was on again. She picked out a random name again, and Scout was picked again to represent! This week, he clocked in at 42 seconds flat. It was a class record, he beat the girls and got it all correct!

Keep in mind, I knew nothing of any of this, and was enlightened by his teacher.
When I asked him about this, he told me the story of last week to this week. You could tell he was so proud. And then I asked how he got so much faster. He told me, “Mom, I went home and practiced it a thousand times so I could beat everyone the next time.”
Good for him!
I am one proud mama!
