100% Rylan


In Texas we have those standardized exams which most kids dread but not our Rylan. They practiced for weeks prior to the big day and he was excited for quite some time. Then the day of the test hit and he was 100% literally making himself sick with all of his fretting and worrying. "What if I don't pass it Mom? They won't ever let me into middle school if I don't." I kept reassuring him that he had absolutely 100% nothing to worry about and tried to get him back into the more common Rylan test taking role of "Tests are fun!"
It took two weeks for the scores to come back and TA DA! Rylan got a 100%! He is a 100% awesome kid who sets such a good example for his brothers and sisters about working hard and sticking to it. We are 100% proud of you for all you do and all you are! Love you!
