My eldest 2yo twin boy is 80% deaf, due to severe glue ear, plus has a few breathing difficulties. Although he was never diagnosed until about 6 months ago. Every day my little boy fights his way through the day.
He recently started talking and every time he speaks it is magic. I am so proud of him, words can't really explain.
His brother also never complains of having to come along to every appointment for his brother. He sits there and is so patient. He is such a good brother and son. He always reminds us that it won't be long till William (his brother) is all better.
What have your kids done to make you proud?

A few months back, my husband and I and our two boys (3 and 5 at the time) went to Toys R Us. My older son picked up some toy and when he was done looking at it, he went to an employee and told them he couldn't reach where he was supposed to put it back. The employee was just floored that a 5-year-old would go to that length to make sure it went back in the proper place. He was really impressed and mentioned to it that NO children do that, they just set them down and they spend all their time picking up after them.
Along the same lines, they open the door and hold it for people who are coming in behind them. If there are two doors and a foyer, one will open one of them, and the other will hold the next door.
Both of them are extremely encouraging to one another. When one does something well, the other will say "Great job!" When they're scared or upset about something, they'll say "It's okay." When they didn't quite get something right, they'll say "You can do it, just try again."
They also both work SO hard in school. My oldest is learning to read in kindergarten, and he's really coming along (in an advanced group! I have to gloat, he's never been advanced in anything before LOL). He sits there and just tries and tries until he gets it. He also LOVES doing his homework. At his preschool graduation, he had to be in front of people with his class and do the Macarena to a song about the months of the year. He was just terrified, and we told him to try, but if he just couldn't, he didn't have to stay up there. My little one is forever picking out letters, wherever we are, singing little songs about months, weather, monetary denominations, etc.
But best of all, they're just really sweet, really fun kids with great imagination and an honest, deep joy in life.

they are 2 very good kids. They are good to their friends, are kind to all, have manners and understand when I say they can't have something. As well as that they expect nothing to be given to them simply because they exist. They never ask for anything when we shop like I hear other parents get nagged and get excited if I buy them an icecream from Macca's. For this I am told "i am the best mum in the world".
On top of this I have had many reasons also to be proud of them this wek. My daughter got a 2nd and a 3rd in Gymnastics competition and two 1st's in two swimming races she was in.
My son got a 3rd in gymnastics and a 1st and a 2nd in swimming as well as scored his first goal at basketball. It was only the 2nd game he has ever played.
They both do very well at school and find learning fun and easy and you can't ask for much more than that.
sounds like you have 2 wonderful kids too

we've been letting Lukas stroll in the food market too while he receives stressed and starts yelling and whining sitting in the trolley. He holds directly to the trolley and facilitates push it... the sole undertaking is that if we end too long to browse he starts choosing issues up! thankfully, he stops and holds back onto the trolley as quickly as we initiate off shifting back. i think of it is the newness of pushing the trolley that retains him quiet and entertained... i've got easily on no account shown him or instructed him he would desire to hold the trolley. He copies us! i'm 23 weeks pregnant and each so often if we get a cab residing house, i can't be able to hold him and all the luggage so i've got been letting him stroll to the residing house. it is in elementary terms 30-60seconds stroll, yet he looks to appreciate the way and as quickly as we stroll in the front door, he closes it in the back of him, marches into the lounge and tries to take his footwear off! the sole element he does evenly is stroll on the 2nd... almost each and every little thing else is a huge conflict and laborious. the cases he co-operates/does not scream are like heaven!

Sounds like you have very sweet boys.
My mil passed in August and my 11 year old niece is very close to my husband and me. My mil had cancer and my niece was praying for her everyday. Once we explained that Uncle Joe's mom wouldn't get better and that she was in a lot of pain (at the end - in a Hospice care center) my niece asked us if would be okay if she stopped praying for his mom to get better and started praying for her to die gently and without hurting.
It was so touching, we cried. So many adults cannot even reach that point when it is kinder to let a loved one go than to beg them to fight.

the baby just has to look at me and smile and i feel im the proudest mum, shes the sweetest placid baby ive had,
my 3 year old can dress himself and does this many times a day!, he leaves his drawers a nightmare but makes me proud cos hes so proud of himself
my almost 9yr old is very confident, [unlike his older sister] he makes freinds easy, is very smart at school, and helps out his siblings whenever they ask him, he really makes me proud
and finally my 11 year old daughter is 100% like me as a kid!, shes shy, smiley, smart, forgiving, and pretty much we are like best freinds [ cos most of her freinds at school are becoming very bitchhy, lol], she makes me very proud that shes just like me,,, fantastic, hehehe

They've never made it to term. This makes me overwhelmingly happy.
