So this was my first time at a smart kid assembly. They didn't do them in Cleveland... and I was certainly never INVOLVED in one as a kid. I think this may be a regular thing for Pyp. She's got a crazy competitive streak, and wants to be SO good at EVERYTHING. So here I am taking pictures of Pyper, and the hand full of students in her school in the 4th and 5th grade who scored among the top 5% in the STATE OF TEXAS on their standardized testing. Yeah. BIG accomplishment... have you heard how big this state is?! The boy in the picture??? Pyper's crush. ??? You surprised? I sure was. He isn't exactly what I had pictured in my head as her "type". This was my super sleuth attempt at a picture of him. It was taken from REALLY far away He caught me in the next one.
This was funny. Pyper constantly surprises me. This is her arguing with that boy who is trying to tell her that he is smarter than her. She made a pretty good case for herself. I used to worry that she would never be able to stick up for herself. Problem solved.
She was the only one who stopped at the edge of the stage to pose for her mama. I have this same picture all three times she was awarded. Made me laugh (and everyone else too)
She also got an award for her reading. They have a progression here. You have to test on the books you read (and the amount you read) you are graded on a point system. She was the 2nd highest in the 4th grade.
I love my little brain. Good job Pyper!
