• Yesterday Dmitry was pleased to show me his report card when I picked him up.

  He passed everything in the third quarter! 

  Of course, this is with the teachers making allowances for him and his
  language difficulty, but still . . . it's the first time he's passed all
  his classes.    They were all low 70's, which he did
  comment upon, as one of his friends received all 95's and 100's. 
  Pointed out the difference between where he was when he began last
  August and where he is now.  Huge difference!

  Don got home latish last night, and after getting changed and basically
  squared away, he poked his head into Dmitry's room, asking to see the
  report card.  Dmitry was already in bed, but hopped out, wrapped
  himself in his comforter, and padded out into the kitchen, determined
  Pops should see it, even though it was in his backpack in the car,
  which was put away in the garage (he didn't have any homework last
  night).  He was beaming as Don praised him for his accomplishment. 

  It was sweet.
