Poetry Reading

Lily amazed me the other day.  Her school had a poetry reading competition.  Each class had a competition.  The winner from each class then participated in a several grade competition (PreK through 2nd, 3rd through 8th) during an assembly.  Ben won in Lily's class, and he represented PreK well in the school wide assembly.  Lily was the runner-up for her class!  Even though she didn't compete later on, she did get to recite her poem at the same assembly in front of all the kids, teachers and a lot of parents.  I was blown away that she so confidently walked up on stage by herself and recited four stanzas of Mary Had A Little Lamb while holding Mia's stuffed lamb as her prop.  It was adorable.  I filmed it on my phone but unfortunately, I was too far back for the sound to really pick up, so I'm not posting it here.  She did awesome.  I was amazed that she got up and did this!  She has come so far, and I am so proud of this precious girl!
