Yesterday I took Emma to her soon-to-be junior high so she could try out for Advanced Choir. We were the last ones in the room which suited Emma just fine. She didn't want to try out in front of the other kids. Then the kind teacher (who Emma and I both thought was very cool) told the kids they can request a private try out and the rest of us would get kicked out to the lunch tables. The very next kid stood up and asked her mom to leave, but the rest of us could stay. Of the other 4 who tried out, two did asked their mom to leave.
Emma had a great try out. The teacher even said something about the things Emma can learn if she stays with her all 6 years (jr & high school - just one more reason Emma can't wait to be a 7th grader).
At home she was telling Dad & Grandma about her experience. She pointed out the two kids who asked their mom to leave, and then said, "...which I don't understand, because my mom is my support!"
Great Mom moment.
