This morning, JJ was inducted in the Jr. Beta Club. This is a service club/honor society. It has strict rules regarding grades and behavior. We were excited that JJ was invited to participate. We hope this can be a motivation for him to keep his behavior in check and stop acting out.
The students were asked to dress in their Sunday best. JJ was excited to wear his sport coat and tie to school. He even wanted to continue to wear it through out the day. He looked so dapper. He really is becoming a little man.
After the ceremony was over, the parents had a chance to take some photos. JJ wasn't really willing to get photos with his parents, but I managed to get him to smile long enough to get at least one. We then realized what he really wanted to do. He wanted his photo taken with the club president. A really cute brunette, upperclassman! Way to go JJ. I think we are about to have our hands full.
We made sure that this moment was about JJ. Everyone asked me where Abby was. I had decided that she would get dropped at daycare before we took him to school this morning. For one, I didn't want her to interrupt things. And two, I really wanted JJ to be the focus. He needed to see that we recognized his efforts and that the focus from us (and everyone else there) was on him, not her. I hope that he had the insight to see this. He might not right now, but hopefully someday. For know, we just get to enjoy having a kid in the smarty pants club!
