Emma’s Ice Cream

I took Emma out for Ice Cream tonight to White Farms. It’s a celebratory visit to dairy land due to her outstanding report card. On they way I asked one quesiton that put everything into prospective. “So Emma, what are you happy with Summer on the way.” The first answer. The ‘hot’ weather, the second answer, getting her list of books to read over the Summer. She is truly amazing. We had a really great conversation on the way home. One that built on that. We talked about running and how it’s said that “My sport is your sports punishment”. Running is the foundation for building on all sports. Much like how reading is the building block for all her endeavors at school. I think the premise worked. Hopefully it will let her know that what she does for fun with transcend into all facets of her school work. The bonus plan, maybe she also got the hit about running and will become a runner like her Dad .

Emma, congratulations on your fantastic report card. I am very proud of you.
