Congradulations! That's so cool. Yippee!

ah I didn't see this Ania. Congrats to your DS. I want the laptop!!! envy envy envy:^)

Isn't it great to see the kids succeed?!!

Ania,

That is great! I know you are very proud, as you should be!

I am proud but the best part about it is that he was rewarded for
his academic achievement. Nowdays in the world academics are mostly numbers, prizes and "material" rewards come generally in sports and sport like activities. Think about it. Until last year, when DS got tons of medals for his high scores in the RMTS,
his trophies where coming from sports and music. And he is not a sportsman, especially when it comes to group sports. His strongest point has always been "academic ability". So I think that it is realy cool that he got rewarded for that. A good kind of message was send to his pre-tenage brain.
How cool it is to have your own laptop at 11! And he was oficially told that it is OK to brag about it!
Ania

I'm so glad he got permission to brag! Well done! I agree that having your own laptop at 11 is cool. Earning it at 11 is even cooler!
