Responsibility

Rhett was recently chosen by his teacher to receive the "Responsibility" award at school. We were so proud of him when we got the notice in his backpack! They had a small assembly last Thursday where he and the other recipients received their awards. They were treated to cookies and punch after the ceremony and were allowed to check out of school a few minutes early (but he didn't want to--he wanted to go back to his classroom to get his spider cupcake that his class made that day, and he wanted to stick around to see whose name was drawn from the witch's pot to receive a Halloween pencil! :) This kid is loving Kindergarten.).

My flash didn't work very well in the dark cafeteria, but here he is receiving his certificate from the assistant principal:

Two kids from each Kindergarten class received the award:
Rhett and his friend, Grant:
(It was also Pajama Day at school--part of Red Ribbon* theme week. Rhett insisted on wearing his flannel Christmas pjs from two years ago, so they were a bit small! A wise friend suggested I clean out his pajama drawer and put away the 2 year old pajamas!)

Unfortunately the cookies and punch invitation did not include siblings--Alexee was very upset about that and was in no mood for a picture.

We love you and we are proud of you, Rhett!

"Responsibility" is a great character trait!
