Super Student!!

Last Thursday or Friday we got a letter in the mail from the elementary school. It was to let us know that Joshua had been selected as a super student for the month and we were invited to the assembly today to see him get his award. Of course, this was to be a surprise to Joshua, so we didn't tell him a thing. As his class walked in to the gym, he caught sight of us and was excited, but still didn't know why we were there. When his teacher called his name, he jumped up, turned to us and yelled, "Dad, you and I are going to *Dotty's!" Everyone laughed and his teacher said that was one of the things she liked about Joshua was his enthusiasm. Everyone in the school pretty much knows who Joshua is already...he's such a character.

*Dotty's is a local ice cream/hamburger place. We like getting milkshakes there (the blackberry ones have been a tradition for my best friend, Raini, and I for eons). Anyway, the kids get a coupon for a free ice cream cone with their Super Student certificate (when I was in school it was a free Happy Meal at McDonalds...ice cream cone is way better...especially if they still do the dipped ones!)
