Ian receives an award at Kingswood...

When I came home from work, Ian showed me a certificate he received at his school! You want to talk about one proud Kindergartener...but, I don't know who was more proud of this award...his parents or him! Even Gavin congratulated him! Anyway, Ms. Braun had given us the heads up last week that he was going to be chosen (a surprise to Ian). We just didn't know when he would receive it. So, today was the day! It's a Certificate of Character Excellence to recognize Ian as a great leader with positive behavior. The certificate is signed by the principal and assistant principal. Mr. Case, the assistant principal, came into Ian's classroom and presented it to him in front of his class. How cool is that?! He wants to hang it up in his room, but I told him I'd photocopy it and he can hang up the copied one! This is going in his scrapbook! Maybe I should keep it in a handy place because when he gets out of line, then we can pull this right out and remind him he earned this award. hee hee

So anyway, congratulations Ian James!

After we saw the certificate, the boys jumped into my car and we drove down to Ian's new friend's house. He lives in the neighborhood right next to us. In fact, I knew a few people outside when we met up with Luke and his family that I've recently met at Kingswood. What a small world! Ian raced out of my car and took off running with his buddy, Luke. Gavin was introduced to Ben and they seemed to hit it off well. We'll be meeting up with them at a park Sunday afternoon, too!

Ian and Gavin went to bed early tonight...a busy week with school and activities. We have an EARLY game tomorrow at 8:15am! UGH! I hope the Rockets are awake when we start!!!!!!
