Tonight, I am a proud mom.
My oldest sacrificed one of his last basketball games of the season to compete in a city-wide math competition sponsored by our local newspaper and high school.
It was a competition for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders from all the middle schools in our city. They give awards to the top twenty students in each grade as well as the winning school.
My son placed thirteenth in the city for 6th graders, and one of his best friends won the first place award.
At the end of the night, they announce the school with the most points, and we were all thrilled when our school took first place.
After the contest, we went out for ice cream to celebrate his accomplishment. We're all going to bed with little smiles on our faces tonight.
