Nathanieel usually has a REALLY hard time with crowds and lots of people and stuff. But he was so GREAT here. They even had him up there calling off raffel numbers all day. He would read the numbers on the mocrophone like a champ! It made me so happy in so many ways.
1~The wonderful organizers of PSC invited him to participate
2~The had the utmost patients with him and were so sweet to him (as always!)
3~He got to feel super special!!
4~It was a totlly normal kid thing for him to be doing and he dosen't get that often!
5~He was proud of what he was doing and felt like he was helping this roup that he LOVES!
So often Nat sits on my lap and melts, but not Sunday. Sunday he was a super star!
For about two weeks Nathaniel had been telling EVERYONE that he was going to this event to win the surfboard prize. His mind was DEAD SET on winning. When we came in and he scoped out the prizes he walked right over to the two boards. He looked at them both, then promptly turned around and told me:
"This (pointing at the board in the picture above) is going to be MINE. I am winning it today, and it is coming home with us."
He then shook his head like "yup, that's right" and went off to play.
I was not quiet sure how we were going to handle the someone else winning it and it not going home with Nathaniel thing... I was seriously dreading the melt down that would surely ensue.
Then Glenn (bless his heart!) let Nathaniel and Audrey come up to do the drawing and read off the number... then Nathaniel wold have give the surfboard to the winner. Oh man did my heart stop!
Does he look a little happy or what???
