i mean, really~ both Jeff and i stood and stared. down at the paper, up at eachother, down at the paper, up at eachother. and so it went. our faces mirrored both confusion and astonishment. could it be a mistake? or was this award really meant for our dear Hudson?
well, yes~ actually it was! i had to ask his teacher how she came to this conclusion when choosing from an entire grade three class. there are, after all, monthly character awards given at Hudson's school, and perhaps "Enthusiasm" or "Compassion" or "Energetic" or "Funny Guy who can Dance" :) might have been better fits. there are other suitable choices! she shared the story that led to her decision. apparently Hudson was seen walking the hallway after the others had come in the classroom. his teacher asked him what he was doing. he responded that he had been running down the hallway, which is not allowed, so he decided to turn around, go back to the end of the hall, and walk properly the second time. she appreciated his honestly. so, there you have it. we'll celebrate the small victories, even if they sprout out of original disobedience! just cracks me up. never dull around here, that is for sure.
