Things that make me proud

My kids.
For example last year we took the training wheels off of Ethan's bike and worked with him to learn how to ride. He wasn't too sure about all that, but this spring he decided that he was going to learn to ride his bike - so he got it out of the storage shed and rode for days back and forth in the back yard (so that when he bit it, it didn't hurt as bad) all by himself until he built up his confidence to bring it out and ride on the sidewalk.
He did this all by himself. All determination and focus.
This makes me proud. And thankful. Because this has nothing to do with me but everything to do with how blessed I am to have the greatest kids ever!
