When I was little my dad used to tell me that I would be a better person than him. He said that kids are always better than their parents. My juvenile mind could not comprehend the idea that I would be BETTER than my dad! The great, amazing, perfect dad that he is!
And then it happened, I started my own brood and I began to understand...
Somehow mine have been made better than me already. What a relief!
It was Isla's turn to give a talk a few weeks ago. She wanted to write it all by herself. Proving my dad right (again) that your kids will just be better than you, here's a copy of her talk.
And by the way, Dad, Happy Birthday to the best dad a girl could ever have! I love you!

That is so sweet! Especially the spelling...love how they sound things out! Since we have both taught English & now with kindergarteners, I'm realizing how tough our language is to learn with its many exceptions but so fun to see how eager they are to express themselves:)
