Science Fair night was Thursday, and there were only two other kids in 2nd grade who did projects (it's required in 4th and 5th and we want to get Rachel used to the idea of doing one so that it doesn't seem overwhelming when it's not optional anymore). She got some nice compliments, apparently. The adults, apparently, were impressed that she didn't choose an experiment from a book like the other kids did.
I congratulated her by phone at work, and I said, "Aren't you glad you did a project?" "You MADE me do one," she reminded me, not very enthusiastically. Well, I'm glad we did because it was an important lesson in stick-to-itiveness. Which hopefully will serve her well in life.
