My mommy-heart is breaking into a million pieces. My child, the one who has the tenderest of feelings, the one who gets upset to the point of tears if all his spelling words aren't right on his test on Friday, didn't break his board tonight at testing. I would take it from him if I could. I would take the no-change in a minute so he wouldn't have to feel the way he's feeling right now. He is being beyond hard on himself. He knows he can break that board; he's never NOT done it in class; he was completely not worried about having to break it this evening. My hope for his evening and the next few days is that he can just let it go. Move on. Not keep beating himself up over it. I'm sad......................

I know how you feel and it sucks. These things build character. I understand that it doesn't feel that way now, but it does. Never give up. Things happen when they happen for a reason.
I'm sorry for him. I didn't get to see it, but I hope he knows that we are all rooting for him. He should also know that we'll all work together to help him the next time.
I feel badly too. I know what you mean though about wanting to take the no change for him. It's so much easier to accept disappointment for ourselves than for our children.
On a happier note - congrats to you and Ryan. I hope Ryan wasn't offended when I didn't want to hold his board. But I didn't want to flinch for him and thought a guy would hold better than me. Great job and Cameron will pass with flying colors next time!
Cam is doing much better today. I think it is - in an odd way now - helpful to him that he KNOWS he is capable of breaking, but he just had an "off night" or something weird like that.
Kim, Ryan is not offended that you didn't want to hold for him - he says he wouldn't hold for himself either! (He also said he would never hold for Mr. Mayer :)
Kim, at least Chief didn't see you refuse to hold a board. :)
I'm glad Camron is having a better day. My heart was so sad for him last night and for you, too, seeing how sad you were for him.
