Annabelle has been struggling with math this year. She’s quite good at math but seems to have lost her confidence. She’s had a few rough tests and felt defeated. She had in her head that she just wasn’t good at it.

Her teacher has been so supportive. She has encouraged her and given her a bit of extra help. I received a text from Annabelle’s teacher this evening saying she had just finished grading tests and Annabelle had received a 94%. That A was a triumph for our girl and we wanted to make sure we celebrated it.

Annabelle was at dance and Gwyneth and I came up with the idea to have a little root beer toast waiting for her when she arrived home.
