Award Day

Thomas had his Awards ceremomy today. He almost didn't want to go to school because he has been having problems with kids at school , and just hasn't been all that excited about school lately. I said "well, we'll just have to give your award to someone else then!" He said " What?! No ! I 'm going! I'm going!!" He wouldn't hear anything about anyone claiming HIS award! I THOUGHT that would work! ;) I got Brendan dressed, We picked out his clothes, had breakfast, and were off. We were halfway there when I realized that the stroller wasn't in the car. Oh boy. I was going to have to go ALLLL the way BACK home and get the stroller and get back to the school BEFORE the awards ceremony.It was already almost 8:30, and the ceremomy started at 8:45, and it took at LEAST 15 minutes to get home- I was going to have to sprout wings and fly! Needless to say traffic was good to me with some cursing and yelling and driving like Mrs Maria Andretti!{and a little help from mom above } I somehow got back to the school AT 8:45 and snuck in the back way of the cafeteria I had my camera in hand. I saw Thomas on the floor with his class straining looking for me and when he saw me he relaxed. When I told him I had to go back for the stroller he said "mommmeeeee! " I said I PROMISE I'll be there! I wouldn't miss it for ANYTHING ! I think he was nervous with the traffic I was going to miss it. It turned out , his class was the last class to be called for the awards anyway- can you say Murphy's Law? I had wanted to take one more picture of him after the ceremony holding his certificate, but by the time I got through all the parents, His teacher was ushering him through the door back to class- I was like "but but" ahh well, I'll get him at home.." I'm very proud of him - not a semester goes by that he doesn't win an award- hes got awards for Merit,Outstanding attendance, Student of the Month,Positive Behavior,And now making the Honor Roll. I wouldn't call him a nerd, Just a good clean student , and I'm damn proud of him! Its things like this that go on his record and get him in good schools if he keeps up the good work. Heres some pics from his special day.. Go Thomas! I love you Sweetie!
