The Golden Ruler Award

Yesterday I picked Josiah up from school and it seemed just like any other day. His teacher said he had a good day and that was it. When I asked Josiah how school was he said, "Great! I got an award today."
M: "What was the award for?"
J: "I got my picture taken inside the cafeteria and a picture taken outside"
M: "What did you do to get the award?"
J: "It's the golden ruler award"
M: "That's great sweetheart! What did you do that made your teacher give you an award?"
J: "It's for being a good listener and for being kind to the other kids"

Wow! I was so proud and amazed at how much he has changed and matured this year. I looked in his backpack and found no info about the award. When Greg got home he told him the same story. Today when I got him from school his teacher told me that she had forgotten to tell me about his award and that he had been doing a really good job in school. Again, we are so very proud of him.

Today Naomi and I got up very early and were at Kosair Children's Hospital by 7:30am. Naomi had her 3 month hearing test today and passed with flying colors. She did such a great job in the sound booth that we don't have to go back for another 6 months - yay!
After the test we ran up to the PICU where Chase (a friend of mines little 6 month old) is recovering from open heart surgery. Jan was not there, but I talked with Mark and got to see Chase. He is doing so very well today. They are thinking of moving him to a regular room and possibly going home next week. Praise the Lord for this little miracle baby. He looked so good. His color looked great and he was sleeping so peacefully.
