Citizenship

Today at school Baylor received the award for Citizenship in his class. He was hoping for the Reading or Math award because he really is a high achiever, but we told him how proud we were of THIS award. It speaks so much more to the kind of person he is wherever he goes.

His teacher had let me know that the awards assembly was coming, but to keep it a secret from him. He knew as soon as he saw me there that he was getting a reward. When his name was not called for Mr. Stephenson's class, he just knew he had the Reading Award. He was poised and ready to jump at it, until they called someone else's name. I love his confidence. The only good picture I got of him was of him taking off on his leg of the relay race. When they receive a reward, they make it fun by having all the award recipiants run a realy. It gives them a little more focus than just walking up to get an award.
