I have been sick this past week and have been sleeping a lot. Finally starting to feel better. Brayden came Friday after school, I was so happy to see him. This was his last day of school, so it is now official, he is a big 3rd grader. I cannot believe how fast he is growing up, almost to fast. It rained all weekend, so we did not get to do anything fun. Last weekend I took him to a fishing derby at Sunset Lake. He only caught a tiny brim. But they had a live dj there playing music and giving out prizes. He entered the dance contest for kids only and he won. He won a nice Shakespear rod  and reel, a pretty blue,(his favorite color). He was so proud of himself, he just couldnot believe that he won. I was very proud of him for trying. He said, I can't dance Nana, I said yes you can, you never know until you try. I think he learned a very valuable lesson that day. Believe in yourself, and others will see how awesome you are too.
