Andrew Learned E is for Effort

Today Andrew got is very first award in school. It was for Effort and the progress he has made so far this year. Andrew got to sit on the stage while he waited for his name to be called. He was pretty fidgety for the first little bit till he saw me in the back with my camera and then he was focused on me and all smiles.

The principal had to call his name a few times as he was too busy smiling for me that he wasn't paying attention. He looked so dang cute walking up to get his special award.

He did a great job listening and staying with the group while the program continued on. Since his class is special education they dismiss 10 minutes earlier than the rest of the classes and he waited so patiently for Megan to finish.

He held onto his award the whole time and wouldn't let go for one second. Once we got home he promptly asked me to hang it up on his door. Both my kids have special school work and certificates on their doors showing off their talents. It makes them feel very special and he couldn't wait to add to his door. It was so fun to see him light up and feel so happy to get acknowledge.
