Today Morgan was the Marvelous Maverick for her class! One child from each class is recognized every few weeks at a little assembly they have at the start of the day. In the spring Morgan's class will be able to do the presentation at one of these, right now the older kids are doing it. She has been SO excited to be the Marvelous Maverick and has been wondering when she would be chosen. The parents find out a couple days ahead of time so we can be sure we are there, but the kids don't know until their name is called. Last night she said (again) that she wanted to be the Marvelous Maverick, but this morning she mentioned that when she was chosen that she would be nervous to stand in front of everyone. Well, I guess she was right! She went to the front when her name was chosen, but didn't crack a smile and I could tell she was uncomfortable the whole time. When the assembly was over they all gather for a group picture with the principal in a different room. When she saw Chris and I for this, she lost it and started crying. It broke my heart! I think she was holding all her emotion and nervousness in before and had to let it out. So she was crying for all the group pics but this is her with Chris and I right before she went back to class. I'm sure her friends made her feel special after she went back to class and hopefully she could enjoy her special day in a less public setting!

Way to go Morgan!! I completely understand the nervousness, and then breaking down when she saw you. Poor girl! Hopefully, after the fact, she was able to enjoy the special day a little more.
