Victory!

At the kids' school, they have a program called Fact Masters which is a timed test that encourages kiddos to master their math facts.  When Maddie was at the elementary school, this test was a huge thing to her because she is so extremely competitive.  So as Micah has entered first grade and started taking the test, he remembered what a big deal she made of it so it somewhat became a big deal to him.  The kids have to pass the test in the classroom and then they graduate to the "Big Test" which is in the cafeteria.  He has been passing the test in the classroom for a while, but when he gets to the cafeteria, he is so stimulated by all that is going on around him, he isn't able to complete the test.  But thankfully, he finally managed to finish and got them all right.  We like to reward our kids for their achievements when possible so Micah got to choose a pint of ice cream that is all his to eat when he chooses.  Here he is, enjoying his chocolate ice cream!
