Celebrity Mom

Now I know how it feels to be the mom of a celebrity.

You may remember OTG Boy had some math goals at the beginning of the year...
All that hard work paid off at the final Math Blaster Assembly of the year!

As usual, the assembly started with music blaring and lights flashing.
First, awards were given to all the kids passing their own grade level tests, starting with 1st Grade and moving up.

The excitement started high and kept building with each new grade...

Then they started announcing kids who had passed tests higher than their grade level...

The excitement (and noise) growing louder with each new kid.

Now everyone (including OTG Boy) knew OTG Boy was getting something... why else would his mom be there with his little brothers?!?

More names were called, still no OTG Boy.

Finally, the teacher, yelling into the mic says...

"This is our last Math Blaster of the '08-'09 school year!" (Cheering)

"He's a 5th Grader!" (Cheering)

"Who's passed the 7th Grade Math Test!" (Even more cheering)

"He's in Ms. M's Class!" (More cheering - OTG Boy's class is on their feet jumping hysterically)

"His name is... OTG..." you can't even hear the last name the students are screaming at the top of their lungs!

OTG Boy is trying to run to the stage, but everyone along his path has their hand out... he's high-fiving everyone! Finally, he bursts through the crowd... caught up in the moment he doesn't even consider using the stairs... he leaps up onto the stage while the music blares and the crowd cheers!

Amazing!

I told OTG Boy to write his experience in his journal - it's not everyday you have your entire school cheering for you.
