And The Award For America's Best Parent Goes To...

Not me. I feel like a jackass. With the excitement of last weekend combined with a hectic work schedule, the fact that C-dub made "Student of the Month" completely passed by our family. I found his little stickered up award in his backpack and I was immediately flooded with guilt. He'd gone through an awards assembly last Friday, in front of the entire school, and I completely missed it.
In my own defense, parents are not notified regarding this and the little ones are supposed to pass it on to mom and dad. Well guess what? C-dub could care less and probably had no clue other than that it was just an additional paper to take home to mom and dad.
I went down and bought a special raspberry danish for us to celebrate his award tomorrow morning. I figured it was better late than never - plus, any reason to eat danish is a good reason to me. I just hope he doesn't give up on his 'ol mom and dad because I promise we'll do better in the future.
Congrats C-dub. Your flaky mommy and daddy are extremely proud of you.

I wish they'd tell us so we can celebrate it.
Congrats to C-dub.

Congratulations C-Dub! You kno last year my son made honor roll too- and I was told that they no longer allow parents to come to these type of events. Maybe thats another reason we homeschool!
