Proud Moments

Chris and I are fortunate that our kids make us proud fairly often! But this week we again found ourselves so proud of them! Cole competed in his first ever UIL competition. He was 1 of 2 2nd graders chosen from his school to compete in storytelling. In storytelling they read the students a story then the students have to wait their turn to go in and retell that story with as much expression and excitement as they can in front of a panel of judges. This Friday Cole competed against about 20 other students from around the school district. Chris and I were in the waiting area with him before competition and he was REALLY nervous! He did not advance to the finals but we were very proud of his accomplishment!
Then on Saturday Cole and Chloe both played basketball again! This week Cole's team lost and Chloe's team won! This week Cole did not make any baskets, but Chloe scored her first 2 points! Cole received the "Most Sportsman Like" star and Chloe received another "Defense" star!
We really have a lot to be proud of here at the Thomas house but unfortunately we spend most of our time rushing from one place to another and don't tell our children often enough how proud of them we really are!
