Proud Rowan

At school every Friday morning they have parade (assembly).  Parents are welcome to stay but we haven't yet as we wanted Rowan to get used to us not being there.  Anyway last Friday his teacher asked if I could stay, so Reuben and I did.

They sing the national anthem and give all the relevant talks (litter and child safety today), then they present awards, of which there were quite a lot due to it being almost the end of term.
They give out Super Surfer Awards for all manner of reasons and Rowan got one for doing his best in his new school!  I was unsure if he would go up on stage in front of all the school (500 kids) but he was straight up there and got his certificate.  He was so Proud.  When he met me after he said, "That was so awesome!"

I did shed a tear, but got distracted as he stood in the wrong place whilst everyone else got theirs, which is probably a good thing else I would have blubbed!
