On the day of the Speech Meet, due to space limitations, only one parent was allowed to be with the child. Matthew really wanted to be in the room for Seth's presentation, so, I let him (so gracious of me, I know :)). Matthew was leaving to go up to Northern California for the 200 mile relay (another story... ) and had to leave by 10:30am, so we drove separate cars. Because of the order of the program, Matthew stretched his time to almost 11... just for Seth (while I hovered outside the door, peeking in the window... which, I'm sure, was NOT ALLOWED). Right before Seth's turn, the ladies that were monitoring "traffic flow" of the Speech Meet gave me the go ahead -- both Matthew and I were able to hear Seth's speech!!! What a treat :)
All in all, he received a BLUE RIBBON for his diligent work! Super job, Seth!!! We are so proud of you!
