Super Reader: This summer my boys were involved in a reading contest through the library. For Andrew and Brendan, they needed to read five hours and record that on a sheet, then they could take their sheet to the library for a prize. I lost track of the amount of sheets, but I know that Andrew read at least 35 hours in two months. The librarian called on Monday to tell me that Andrew was one of the top readers for the program, and he received a shirt as a prize. He was thrilled!
Super Golfer: Andrew and Brendan participated in another golf tournament on August 7th at a Par 3 course. Brendan struggled a little early on, but still ended strong. Andrew, however, played well! He had a solid round with only a few strokes he regretted. He ended the tournament with a 40 for 9 holes. At first when we looked at the leader board, Andrew was in second place behind one kid with a 39. He was beaming at the thought that he may win a trophy. Eventually, another boy posted a 39 and yet one more boy posted a 34, which put Andrew in 4th place. However, that was his highest place in a tournament so far. I am so proud!
Super Kid: Andrew is not always the most affectionate of my boys. He tends to keep his gratitude and emotions bottled inside. For some reason this week he was compelled to create a piece of artwork to show his appreciation.
That is Mom #1. He colored the sticks with my two favorite colors and worked hard to make it just right. I was nearly speechless with pride. When he shows his love like this, I find myself reeling. What a super kid!
