Coloring Contest

 

William came home from school about a month ago and told me that he did really well coloring a picture in his art class that his teacher kept it. I told him I was proud of him and we talked about what he had colored. Fast forward a couple of weeks, William came home and said that the picture he had colored won a contest at school. I told him that he was awesome and I asked him if he got a prize or anything and (of course) he didn't really know. The next week, I got a phone call from his art teacher saying that William colored a picture for a Firefighter coloring contest in Nashville. It's for all 2nd graders and William's picture won for AZ Kelley. It was submitted and his was picked to be in the final three! The Firefighters didn't pick out a winner, but they recognized all three children at a Tracy Lawrence concert at the Municipal Auditorium! Way to underplay it, huh William?

 

 William was recognized on stage along with his art teacher and the dog Flash.

 They had all three of the final pictures up on the screen. William's in the middle. He received an award that had his picture on it. We decided that it was Flash and then William colored the children to look like him and Lily.

Matthew and I are so proud of our William. He is just so awesome and we love him so much. He is incredibly talented in a lot of ways. William has since been telling people that he's famous because he was on stage in front of a bunch of people. Gotta love him!
