I went to a parent-teacher conference today, for the B boy.
The news were surprisingly good.
He is where he should be in Norwegian, and not really behind the others. Pretty awesome, considering he didn't speak more than a couple of words of Norwegian 8 months ago, let alone read or wrote the language.
Thrilled to bits by the feedback, I offered to get the boy a reward for working so hard at school.
I figured he'd want a new game for the DS or the PlayStation, or perhaps a night out to the local playland, or maybe even go see a movie.
I was wrong.
As a reward, my boy wants chocolate.
I'm now thinking the B in "B boy" stands for Brilliant.

Go B!!!
What kind of chocolate? The good stuff or kid favorites like Kinder Eggs?
Hopefully he will share his little prize.
It is always nice when kids want something simple. =)
Chocolate is the best reward! That's so great that he has learned Norwegian so quickly.
Yay B Boy! and good choice on the chocolate. I have a boy that loves chocolate even more than I do. Hard to believe.
Have a wonderful weekend,Heidi.
Oh man you guys are gonna miss that wonderful Norwegian chocolate when you come back to the land of waxy milk chocolate.
Wow, double kudos to B, and you know, I'm thinking what you're thinking is right! Brilliant indeed!
Whoo Hoo! Whatta kid!
Good job B boy! And how nice that he asked for a simple reward!
He's a smart boy. I'd pick chocolate, too.
Now that is a boy who knows what's good in life:)
That B Boy is a boy after my own heart - and smart too!!
Have a good weekend - see you soon - Kellan
I think it is absolutely fantastic that he is speaking, reading, and writing in Norweigan so well. Your "gap year" has been a true gift in a lot of ways.
He IS a smart boy!
Wow! I'm so impressed by his progress!
And chocolate? Good choice!
I'm thinking you're right!
1. Way to mix your metaphors Madam.
2. The boy knows what is important in this world.
Well done to your B. boy on knowing his stuff ... and on doing so well at Norwegian school too!
mmmm....chocolate! What a great kid you've got there! YOu must be so incredibly proud!
Aren't kids amazing? Chocolate works for just about every occasion!
This is so wonderful!
I can't imagine . . . what a huge accomplishment! Norwegian.
As for the chocolate. Clearly he knows what matters most in life :)
mmmmm........
what a gift you are giving him - languages. oh, and chocolate.
Love, love, love chocolate!! When we were in Belgium I went to several little chocolate shops. Belgian chocolate = yummy!
Clearly he IS brilliant!!!
Kids pick up a new language pretty quick, don't they!
Mmmmm chocolate!
That is my kind of boy.
wow, that is my kind of kid.
A boy after my own heart! Seriously, there is nothing better in life than chocolate. Well, maybe a new Coach bag filled with chocolate!

i have a hard time getting my son to do english right, let alone norwegian. wow you guys.
He is brilliant; there is no homegrown chocolate that comes anywhere close to what you can get there in Europe.
Divine is an absolute understatement!
I always knew that B-Boy was very, very special :)! I just love that kid...
Ha! That sounds like something mine might have asked for as well!
