Addie’s Award

Sorting the Yarn

Addie called me yesterday. On Nicole’s contacts, she has pictures for most of us so Addie knows how to call the people she wants to talk to.

Even though I think she’s the cutest, sweetest child, I’ll be the first to admit she can be a bit of a spoiled girl sometimes but when she’s serious, she is hilarious and I can never laugh at her. She’s so dramatic. Here’s our conversation yesterday:

Addie: Granny, I was the Lexia leader for this month!
Me: That’s so good.
Addie: And I got to pick a prize.
Me: What prize did you pick?
Addie: A GOLDEN pencil!
Me: WOW!

Addie: Granny, I was the Lexia leader for this month!
Me: That’s so good.
Addie: And I got to pick a prize.
Me: What prize did you pick?
Addie: A GOLDEN pencil!
Me: WOW! Do you think it’s real gold?
Addie: (In her most serious voice) I don’t know . . but it could be!
Me: I’m so proud to be your grandmother.
Addie: Thanks!

It’s so funny to think of the innocence of a first grader . . a pencil could be REAL gold! Addie knows about gold coins because she and Chad collect coins and they talk about back when coins were gold and the value of gold.

I have to go to town alone soon to get a haircut so I think I’ll get her a gift card for Starbucks or Walmart and send it to her for being the Lexia leader. And for those who may not know, Lexia is a learning app. I’m not sure if they work on it at school but I know she works on it at home.

    She is going to be one smart girl when she gets older. I love to see kids so excited about learning! I bet her mom read to her before she was born! I know she reads to her now. That makes kids love to read and with reading she can learn so many new thigs!

    What a sweet thing, and how wonderful it is to have cell phones where people don’t have to pay a fortune to call home!
