I received a call a couple days ago from Nick's teacher. Letting me know that Nick would be getting an award this morning at the school assembly and inviting me to attend! I am so happy and proud of him! The little boys and I went and Nick received Student of the Month for his class and as a super surprise, he was also chosen as the Lower Grades Student of the Month ... each Month out of the pool of Students of the Month are chosen the "School Students of the Month - one for the k-2 and one for 3-5. I am so proud of him! He was beaming and really trying not to seem too proud of himself!
A friend of mine from Little League was there with her Father. He kindly offered to let me run up and take a picture while he watched the boys (who were sitting nicely in the stroller due to the chocolate milk and doughnuts I had bribed them with) ... he only asked me to "hurry back"! It was very sweet. He mentioned that due to his job we missed all of these types of things for his kids, but he won't miss them the second time around for his grandkids now that he is retired. I immediately felt so lucky that I could attend these functions. As the kids grow, I am sure they won't care if they were student of the month or won some elementary school award ... but I am SURE they will remember that I was there. I am so blessed.
(here is a picture of the prized trophy for the lower grades student of the month! YAHOO!)
(I tried to take a one-handed picture of the both of us ... didn't work - but he is so cute, had to post it!)
