[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 525091, member: 6546"] UPDATE: Well, only you fellow parents of difficult children will understand this.... I waited until difficult child got off the bus and saw that she was fairly calm. The I told her that I had some good news / bad news. YOUR POEM WAS IN THE TOP SIX!!! [SIZE=1]I know you don't get a prize for that but[/SIZE] TOP SIX!!! WHOO-HOO!!!! I THINK WE SHOULD ALL GO OUT AND CELEBRATE!!! WHOO - HOO!!! I could tell by difficult child's face that she was processing this. She *really* thought she was going to win and you could see the disappointment on her face. DS helpfully chimed in that Top Six was AWESOME because he bet that this one particular girl entered and her stuff is practically professional and she pretty much ALWAYS wins so... difficult child took the bait and agreed that she couldn't have been expected to win against THAT girl so really.....it's LIKE a win anyway....and besides....we get to go out and celebrate....WHOO-HOO!!! But then, you could almost see a dark cloud cross her face and she scowled and asked what about DS? [SIZE=1]Oh well, top three, but[/SIZE] - WHOO-HOO!!! WE ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE!!! There is always an awards ceremony at the library and all the entrants are invited to present their poems. So we've decided that both kids will read their poems to the audience and then we will take them out for ice cream or something to celebrate. And difficult child seems to be looking forward to it! So....thankfully, crisis averted! Whew! So now I can be proud....and relieved! :whew: :applause: Thanks so much for all the positive thoughts!!! [/QUOTE]
