Each quarter Max's school hands out awards for perfect attendance and pride awards for excellent behavior. Just like in quarter one, Max received another pride award. This doesn't shock either of us because he is a really good kid. He was upset with us because it's our fault he did not receive the perfect attendance award. Well, we did take him out of school for four days to go to Disney World and on a Disney cruise. How mean of us? I reminded him of this and his was response was that we could have taken him when he's not in school. That way he didn't have to miss any. He also asked me why he has to take a winter break because he loves to learn and how can he learn when he's out of school for two weeks. He also wanted to know why we have weekends. Can't he go to school seen days a week? Andy said he definitely did not get his love of school from him. I know that I absolutely loved school and was sad the day I graduated, so he probably got that from me.
On Wednesday I went to Max's assembly to watch him get his pride award. He was so happy to see me in the audience.
At the end of the awards, they had a teacher wrapping contest. Three kids from each grade were chosen to come up in front of the school and wrap a teacher. I was thinking "please don't pick Max, this would be his nightmare to be in front of the school like that." Of course they picked Max and he ran right up there and was super excited to participate. It was him and two other kindergarteners from the other K classes. They wrapped up his K teacher. He gave it 100% and I was very shocked at how comfortable he was being in front of his school. I am also very proud of him since he has come along way over the past couple years with his social anxiety. I was so proud to see him participate in front of the school that I will admit I got a little teary. I did take video of this, but here are some photos since videos never post well for me.
