Remember when I mentioned he had a role in the school's production of "Dracula"? He won the George Faupel Performing Arts Award (with a $50 savings bond) for that. We drove out to Frederick to see it being presented to him. When he saw us in the auditorium, he was surprised. The school had not told HIM he was getting the award, so he thought he was only there to watch his friends get college scholarships awarded! When he wanted to know why I was there, I told him I had heard there was going to be an ASL movie--look, don't you see the projector down there? And the screen? He swallowed it (boy, that kid is gullible...), and the look of absolute SHOCK on his face was priceless when they called his name for the acting award. Proud mommy? Heck, yeah!!!
Then the next day he brought home a piece of art I had never seen him do. Turns out as soon as he finished it, his teacher scarfed it up and entered it in some high school art competition because she liked it so much. He won third prize there. Here's a picture of the picture, which is now hanging in the dining room:
So, between the brown belt, the acting award, and the art award, he has just had a really big week. I'm afraid it might go to his head.
