~~Award Day~~

Today I got to take a trip to school for my first awards ceremony. Caitlin was selected to get a good citizenship award. Every month, the school counselor goes into the classrooms to discuss different traits that make a good citizen. Then the teacher picks students in the classroom who best represent those traits. This month, the trait was compassion.

Caitlin was surprised to see me there. I did not tell her I was coming. She was excited though. Unfortunately, that ended FAST! The children had to stand up and face the audience and recite the school motto. Caitlin did fine until she had to face the crowd, then shyness kicked in! She would not recite the motto and tried to hide behind her hand. Poor thing! So, for the rest of the ceremony, she was embarrassed and would not really look at anyone or smile. Then at the end, she did not want me to take her picture. I tried telling her how much her daddy wanted to see it since he could not be there for the ceremony, but that didn't help...so here are they best I could get! Silly Caitlin, but I sure am proud of her!!

She was so excited to see me there!

She was no longer all smiles!
