It Ain't Braggin' if You Can Back It Up

Actually, this is flat-out bragging.  Coming off the heels of his Math Olympics victory last month, Tucker took the 3rd grade award today in the 'Oratory Recital'.  Basically, they have to memorize a poem and recite it in front of their classmates.  I'm proud he won the 3rd grade but I may be even more proud of this email we got from a parent of the kid who won the School-wide event.  (Quick setup:  Some of the kids go all out with a costume that somehow fits the poem)

Congrats on Tucker's win!  And he was the only one in uniform out of all the winners:-)  That's big.  It was our first year dressing the part.  Miles was in a suit or dress clothes in the classroom for all the other years (and the one year he made it to the school competition).  I went to congratulate Tucker and he said, "No, congratulations to you for Miles.  He did great."  I thought that was very sweet and so sincere.  Hate to see ya'll go.  You're a beautiful family...and he's a popular kid:-)  Those girls love him!
