I don't mean to brag, but...

Sometimes it just happens! I brought my pride and joy to the office today and could not get enough of showing her off to my coworkers. Molly was being her typical adorable self in my boss's office and I found myself saying, without even thinking, "Her teachers say she's really creative." Groan. I knew as soon as I said it that I was being that parent. And it's early. Molly hasn't even started elementary school yet. She hasn't joined any clubs or played any sports (though the odds of her doing anything athletically brag-worthy are slim). What's going to happen in a few years? Will people start rolling their eyes behind my back or automatically tuning me out whenever I start gushing about my perfect child? I've had coworkers like that. I've been the eye roller. I need to remember that no matter how cute and wonderful I think she is, other people have limits. I need to save my bragging for the grandparents. And the blog.
