Kobie update...

Kobie the day he got his award.

It has been a while since I updated everyone on Kobie. Every month Kobie's school has a characteristic that they work on. Every month each grade chooses a student that portrays that trait or characteristic, its what our Good Citizens Awards were like. They have a special ceremony with there family(all the students and families together) and then get to put their hand print on the wall of the school. In October the trait was Cooperation and Kobie was nominated out of all of the 2nd grade.
It was at a time when Corey was traveling so I went alone. Now I know that we are not supposed to have pride but I tell you what that was one of my proudest moments as a mother. They made an announcement over the loud speaker and say the children's names, then the kids leave class and come to the cafeteria for cookies and juice. When Kobie walked in I had to really try hard to keep it together so I wouldn't start bawling in front of everyone.
I took our camera to take pictures but didn't check to make sure the battery was charged. It of course was not charged and didn't work. We live in a blessed day of cell phones with cameras, so we have pictures of that, yeah.
Kobie before Christmas break was tested for the Program Challenge or PC, what our "gate" or "gifted" programs were. We got the letter the day he went back to school that he was accepted. He was very excited and we think that he will do just fine.

This year he is looking forward to turning 8 and getting baptized. WOW! I always knew I would be a mother but it is hard to believe I have an almost 8 yr old. He truly is a great kid and a joy to have in our family.
