CONGRATS

My Kylie wanted to run for her school's Historian this year. It was the first opportunity for her to run as you have to be in 4th grade to run for this office. She was so excited to run. It's been a good motivator for her because she found out that you have to keep your grades up. She's been working extra hard to make sure that happened. The Historian at her school is in charge of taking pictures at Student Council activities & then making a book at the end of the semester for the Student Council members. Well, that is right up our alley! Here's her poster we made to display....

She also had to prepare a speech. This is where I started to stress. The poor girl has the most uncreative mom when it comes to things like this. I knew most of the kids would have very creative speeches with props & things. That's just the way it is with the mom's at this school. It's a dang good thing she is so animated - or it never would have worked! Here's her speech.....

She did so well on her speech! Most kids stared at their paper the whole time & were quite nervous. Kylie was nervous, but she is not scared to be in front of people. I'm so glad she's like that & not terrified like me.

We've prepped her for the past couple of weeks to not be shocked if she didn't win & to be happy for whoever does win. Especially since there was 8 other 4th graders running for this office. Well, the lucky little kid WON!! She was so excited - she just kept looking at me grinning while the Principal announced the other winners. She'll have so much fun since a few of her friends won as well! This will be a fun group! Here's Kylie right after she was announced....

Here's her excited little face when her friend Marinne was announced as the Secretary winner...

CONGRATS KYLIE!! We're so proud of you!!
