Lucas won an award at school

For the last couple of weeks Lucas has been a little bit sad on and off because he hadn't had a letter home in his book bag to say that he'd won an award for the end of term achievement assembly.

What he didn't know was that the school now sends text messages rather than letters which are easily guessable, once you reach the grand old age of seven.  I've had to keep up a nonchalant pretence when he's peeked in his book bag and been sad all over again.  "We all know you're brilliant, you don't need a certificate to tell you that!"

Even with Dave and I sitting behind him, camera at the ready, he didn't twig until just before his head teacher read out his name.  I don't think he stopped looking shocked until we'd settled in at Costa for a celebratory babyccino.

Our lovely wee man won a Mountain Mover award, the school's current highest accolade (yeah, proud Mum here), for moving mountains with his enthusiasm in learning.  (No actual mountains were harmed in his educational endeavours.)  He'll be off to school on Monday with his shiny new enamel badge proudly pinned next to the Trust Badge he won last year.

Super-proud!!

  4. Congrats to Lucas for moving mountains! And you for being the mama of a mountain mover, and thus being, a mountain mover yourself! (for that and other reasons too)
