I couldn't be more proud of Daizy! She has adjusted so well to life in America that you'd never even know that English is her second language or that she's been in the states less than a year. I prayed for a smooth transition and prepare for the worst. Jesus has been gracious at easing this new mom into motherhood with a kind, obedient, tender hearted and smart little girl. Daizy has loved school from day one. She is the only kid in Louisiana who was begging to wear uniforms in the summer time. During holidays she asks repeatedly when school starts back. She wants to get there early every day. This girl loves to be social but she loves learning. Just 6 months ago she couldn't read and now she is reading chapter books. I am amazed at her determination and tenacity. There will be no stopping this girl in whatever she wants to do.
I just wanted to take a minute to brag on her because she made A/B honor roll the first 9 weeks of school and this 9 weeks she made A honor roll. That is not an easy job for a kiddo who still lacks lots of context clues when it come to words, seasons, children's songs and stories, etc. She is an overcomer and I'm proud to be her momma!
Below is a picture of her and her classmate. There is also a picture of her and Mr. Rick who treats Daizy like one of his own grandchildren. She loves him and Mrs. Joanna. Mr. Rick gave her a little money for making honor roll so we went and got Mexican food (her favorite) and ice cream on Thursday night. The last picture is her being silly at dinner.
