that participation ribbons were silly, over-rated and cheesy. Until a few days ago. Mikayla participated in her first ever contest. A coloring contest having to do with the "magic of savings." She worked hard and colored to the very best of her 3 yr old ability. We turned it in and waited:)
Then Jody emailed me from work telling me that Mikayla got a ribbon and that he'd pick it up on the way home from work. How excited we all were! Mikayla won a RIBBON. Not a blue, red or even yellow ribbon, but a PURPLE ribbon!!! Oh, you could just feel the joy. She prizes her little ribbon, and now it's looking pretty rough since she takes it places.
So, I stand corrected. Participation ribbons are actually under-rated.

The Birdwells
and then she'll reach the age where she knows the difference and it all changes....
ah, to be a toddler again!
the only thing that would have been better is a pink ribbon. or is she over pink already? i know sarah grew out of that really quickly. i'm so proud of miggy for putting such effort into her work. i can just picture her with her 16 year old beauty pageant hair coloring so perfectly. awww. wish i'd have a picture from miggy to hang on my fridge :(
Wowzers. I'm gone for a week and you flake on me! JJ I'm so proud of Miggy; please convey that thought to her. Way to go, Mig! Tell her if she can hang on to it for 12 more days I want to see it. Better yet, let's have a pic of the proud recipient. Love you!
Can't believe I didn't get to see it today! Rats. Well, Wednesday it is. LOVE you.
