Eddie's Excellence Award

Eddie brought home a little surprise tonight.  His language arts teacher gave him an award for "Most Improved" during the marking period.

Eddie seemed genuinely pleased by this award.  He is not accustomed to getting awards for his schoolwork, so this was a real treat for him.  He was beaming tonight as he showed me!

What's funniest, though, in typical Eddie fashion, is when asked if he got the award today, he said, "No.  I've had it in my backpack for a few weeks now.  I just forgot to show you."
