Trophies

Elise asked to play on a soccer team this year, because she heard somewhere that if you play soccer, you "win" a trophy. She was a good little runner, a bit timid about getting in the middle of the bunch and kicking the ball, but the best thing of all was seeing her divide her treats with Lydia at the end of the games. And sure enough, at the end of the season, she was given a cute soccer trophy. It instantly became a prized possession. I need to take a picture of her holding it, but here's one of her wearing her cute uniform.

She also entered the Reflections art contest because I told her that everyone who enters gets a ribbon. She painted a very nice picture of a rainbow and a flower. It actually moved on to the next level, and instead of just a participation ribbon, she won a trophy!
