that's my girl

This month Addie got the 'Terrific Kid' award. Every month has a value or characteristic that is looked for in the kids and 2 kids out of every class gets picked. When I grew up -- it was just called Student of the Month. Anyways - this months value was "The Golden Rule" -- so Addie was picked because she: does unto others as she would have them do to her. I am proud of this -- she is such a sweet girl and this award fits her perfectly. We tried to keep it a surprise from her but she had her suspicions (since her teacher told me right in front of her and just covered her ears) and then when she walked into the cafeteria for the assembly -- she got a much bigger hint when she saw all of us sitting there. :) But I am glad she had a heads up because last year (as you may remember) ... she wouldn't stand up and ended up crying because of all of the unexpected attention. She's so sensitive. :) This year went much smoother. She is so darn cute. Way to go Addie May!!

she spotted us before the assembly started.................
Grandma and Papa (my parents), Uncle Tony (my brother) and Gwen and Jackson all came to support our girl. Unfortunately Sam couldn't make it, but it was nice to have all of them...........

the cute girl. she even got to show off to the school her 'snow bunny' outfit since it was a dress up day. the principal even complimented her on her outfit :)..................
Proud family..............................

Isn't she a 'REPEAT' award recipient?
I thought I remembered her getting a 'MAJOR AWARD' last year too?

GOOD JOB Lil LADY!

You are correct Alison. Last year she won it for Honesty. We'll see if she can earn every value they have. :)
