We're Famous!

A couple of weeks ago the girls were sent home with permission slips for the children to be photographed or filmed for a commercial. Last Wednesday when getting Amaya off of the bus (Tressa had stayed home because she was terribly ill) Mrs. White, Amaya's teacher and one of the occasional bus assistants, tells me that Amaya is the star of their commercial! :) Since she was the only student in all of the head start full of three and four year-olds that can read, they took her to a separate classroom where she read Sleepy Dog by Norman Gorbaty and The Eye Book by Dr. Seuss to the students and staff as well as for the commercial. These are even only Step 1 books and she's able to read steps 2, 3, and some level 4's. I am SO proud of my little big girl! My face lit up so much when her teacher told me all about it. I congratulated her a million times over and told her how proud I was of her and she would only smile and then run to play. I have been anxiously watching our local channels to await her "debut" ☺.

Then Friday, Jonathan comes home telling me about his day. He begins telling me about having to help someone carry in some UPS boxes. He walks into a room with these boxes and FLASH right in his face and then a few more flashes. It's a photographer from the Sun  Herald (our local newspaper). You can see one of Jonathan's famous photos here.  The photographer asks a few questions and then Jonathan must ask a few of his own... about what camera the guy is using. Jonathan is so ready to begin this photography! It makes me so happy seeing him so excited and sure about something!

See... We are famous! :Þ
