We are so proud of Trent. Trent was recognized for his academic achievement and received recognition at the school assembly. Trent did not know that he was going to receive this award. So his shy introvert side really showed. Trent was so excited after the assembly because the Principal handed each of the winners a gift card to McDonald's. Basically they receive a happy meal without the "happy" part of the meal (aka toy). The next day I took Trent to McDonald's so he could use his gift card. When we ordered the lady took the card for the meal and Trent about had a melt down. He kept saying, "Why doesn't she give me my credit card back, mom? She gives you your credit card back after you pay". So I explained to him that my credit card has money on it and his card was just specifically for the food that he bought, so she needed it back. I tried. I guess it worked cause he let it go. LOL
I feel all giddy as a parent! It's a joyful feeling when your child gets recognized. Now I kind of understand that person who drives around the car with one or more than one bumper sticker that says, "My child was honor student at blah blah elementary"! I never got that before. Now I do. I don't have a bumper sticker to go on my car, but I have our family blog with a condensed version of the assembly for everyone to watch. So enjoy!!

Hooray for Trent! I know how you feel about being excited about being a parent! Zachary won student of the Month for January and I was so excited! He didn't get a bumper sticker and so I called the office to see if they had one. They didn't give out bumper stickers just the award...darn. They also told me when they have the award assembly so next time, I won't miss it!
I love his little walk up to the front of the room. Not only should congrats go out to Trent, but also to Mom. You must have helped with homework, read to him as an infant or just passed along the smart genes.
