Little Preacher

Every year, our city has about a week of festival days. Different activities and events are scheduled throughout the week and one of tonight's big events was the "Kiddie Parade". Basically, the children are invited to walk down 1 block on the main street of town. The children have the option of throwing candy or gum and an announcer shares the child's name and the parents' names. This year's "Kiddie Parade" had a theme entitled, "Real Life Hero", so the child's real life hero was also announced. Each participant was encouraged to dress up as their real life hero and a prize would be awarded to the child in the best outfit.

Our big boy dressed up as his real life hero....his Daddy! He was given the title of "Little Preacher" and I think it fits! Check out this picture we took before we headed downtown for the big event...

What a look on that face!

Our big boy did a SUPER job and we are soooo proud of him! He walked down the entire block all by himself. Even though Mommy walked beside or behind him, he walked that 1 block without holding Mommy's hand and didn't even stumble once!! He is getting to be such a great walker! Sometimes it's hard to believe that he's only been walking for a little over a month. He's made such progress in a short period of time! At the end of the block the children were asked to stand on a big "X" so a picture could be taken of each child in his/her outfit. We can go by the post office to pick up our picture on Tuesday. A friend of mine took the pictures and she said ours is a good one! It was so much fun to see our big boy walk down one whole block by himself and we all had a wonderful time! Can't wait to see what's in store next year!

Oh, by the way, our big boy did not win first prize! But that's okay, we all had a blast and he was so proud of himself!!
