A nice thread to post nice things of when your kids made you proud.

You forgot to mention that he can also down 10 pints and take sly photos of lasses boobs just like his fatha

He can't do the pints but he's good with the camera like

He has his own camera so I just let him loose, he's still at the cheeky innocent look stage

Please add your proud parent moments.

My son has really taken to ice hockey and yesterday he played his first games for the U9s. They played 3 won 3 and not only did he score a goal but was also awarded player of his team. I'm not even ashamed to admit I started crying when I seen him get his trophy, he's put so much into it and that was his reward for his efforts.

Superb lad well done.
Mind you with the Arctic conditions of Whitley Bay he could get plenty of practice in even during the summer.

A couple of things - my three daughter won a "young helpers" award when I had cancer - two were interviewed on the radio.

My youngest won Junior British Ballet Champion and 20 minutes later my oldest won Senior British Ballet Champion

Seeing my eldest on stage in Mamma Mia - on Royal Caribbean

My 2 1/2 year old daughter told her Nana last week not to worry about her teddy as it was just stuck and 'not incarcerated'.

again posted nextdoor back in august
a nobel peace prize winner rang up and asked if she could take my eldest(then 14) to dinner to talk to her regarding her views on world peace......she was subsequently flown to the states where she addressed the likes of kofi annan,desmond tutu, the dalai lama, various UN bods and assorted world leaders on the same subject

Alright Mr Thunberg, how's it going?

it had crossed my mind of late the similarities mind. Sadly the whole world youth peace movement she became involved with(peace jam iirc) became hijacked by the american religious right and after she went to a conference in Denver she couldnt put up with it anymore

Still, a f***ing class effort no matter the outcome. Congratulations to her and to you. She's clearly destined for great things.

Actually, is it your girl that is doing the footy kit stuff? If so,

My 6 year old daughter climbed up nearly 40ft on her first climbing lesson. I'm scared of heights

They have no fear! I've done a bit of climbing and it always astonished me how kids under about 10 were straight up the wall, no bother. They are being told by the adults that they will be caught if they fall, so there's no danger in their eyes. Whereas me, in my late 20s and with no particular fear of heights, I freeze halfway up the wall and can't keep going.

I don't have kids but my 11-year-old sister is a regular source of pride for me. Particularly when she shows he showoff kids (mostly boys) what's what on the football field.

My kids make me proud every day but my daughter makes me even more proud with well she is doing at school everyday despite her disability.

She also has a smile that lights up a room and so much love for everyone no matter if she has known them all her life or just met you

As young naive parents we put our new born daughter in the car bringing her home for the very first time .

Pushed the radio button and Your Song by Elton John came on - it was just a wonderful moment in the spring sunshine and it’s been Her Song ever since.

She qualified as a Solicitor last week.

Can I just say, what a refreshing change it is to have a thread all about nice things? Top quality.

Thought I couldn't be any prouder watching my youngest graduate with a 1st in law until her calling to the bar ceremony.

My daughter is a paramedic student - in the second year now. She's already done about 600 hours on the ambulance so far, been to car crashes, births and all sorts.

I've mentioned her on here before, but then I tell everyone about her because I'm so proud of her...

I could never do that job cause I go weak at the knees at the sight of blood. I've got loads of respect for the emergency services.

My lad sang solo at a Christmas concert in a church in Jesmond when he was 6! "Once in Royal Davids City" crystal clear & note perfect. 20 years on I still get teary when I hear it...

 

[Sussex By The Sea]

Not my kids, but my youngest 2 granddaughter's, 8 & 4.

Took them to a restaurant yesterday lunch time and a woman from the table next to us upon leaving came over and complimented them on how well behaved they are.
