It can be hard work being one of two; especially in the classroom. sitting on the blue carpet on a friday afternoon waiting week after week to be voted ‘star of the week’ by your five-year old peers is tough enough; but when you have to watch your sister claim the sought after gold certificate twice; well it can be enough to drive you potty.
But eventually patience pays off, look what someone came home with……
apparently he got it for being kind…
He says his ten best mates voted for him; clearly he is learning how to influence and make friends.
This is my entry for The Gallery this week – pop along and see the rest
Well done!!!! My brother would just of nicked mine! Love the pic especially as BB looks as she is in the middle of clapping and cheering her brother! X
*snigger* she manages to sneak in there!
Ah bless him, well done! I bet it is tough being twins sometimes. Rewards like that mean so much to them – my SS gets so excited when he is given house points at school.
Oh so pleased for him lol, and sounds like a future politician!
pippa that thought terrifies me to my bones!
Ah, well done him! That is very exciting and I love that he got it for being kind! x
Aw bless him….for being kind – how lovely!
I love it that not only did he get it for being kind but he has 10 BEST mates to big him up. That’s a good start in life, you must be so proud! Well done!
certainly prouder than I am most days….
A proud moment that first award. x
could also be a once in a lifetime feeling….
Woohoo fantastic G’s best friend is a twin and he had the same situation as yourself, his sister must have gotten it 3 times before S finally got awarded it, I think we all jumped for joy when he presented it on the playground that Friday!
it is painful to watch him rejected every week – may i say I am also tres proud of my daughter for getting it twice!
Thank goodness for that! It’s difficult being a twin mum and watching one achieve and the other sad becasue they don’t isn’t it? I’m really pleased for him
Bless! We grown up have no idea the pleasure those pieces of paper give!
being kind is a great reason to be rewarded x
thanksx
great blog!
this got spammed lol lol lol
ha ha! see what I did there?- Funny me!
Love this – what a star, I dread all this, it’s the disappointment I can’t cope with. I will be the mother paying other kids to vote for my child so he is star of the week.
pay me i will ‘persuade’ the kids to vote for him!
I can see why it must be nice to be given recognition as one person when you are a twin. Well done that boy he looks mighty pleased
Hooray: I love the look of triumph on his face
he is so proud – we have rang everyone top show off…
Well done to your son, that’s great, you must be proud
@Kahanka
always
You make me smile everytime I read your blog.. Thanks for that
And I love the look on his face!! Good job twin boy!! Well done!
Love,
thankyou x x x
Bless. Both mine have had class awards (awarded by the teacher) but only Monkey has been star of the week (of the whole school!) so far. He got a class award this week but hasn’t apparently got the certificate. His was for kindness in picking up dropped items. Which made me laugh as he regularly drops his toast money wallet and I have to go in and help him find it!
hmmm am wishing twin boy showed me some of the kindness he is knocking around school x xx
awww he looks very pleased with himself
thats an understatement!
ahh Well done little man!
Kindness and patience does pay off!
x
hmmm so does bribery….. x
I want a certificate! This reminds me of when my sister and I worked a full day at the stables to get a free horse-riding lesson (my parents definitely had that one sussed) and I came first in the mucking out competition. My sister got a bronze and was livid. Who’d have thought there’d be such devastation at coming third for shovelling up crap?!
Great entry, love that he got rewarded for being kind. x
funny!
Awww what a star! Congratulations!
thanking you x
Good for your little man. Yes I can see this already that it will be hard being a pair. Luckily the girls go to a big school and will be split from Reception onwards.
Mich x
we couldnt split ours, we had the option but twin boy needs to be able to see twin girl to feel ‘safe’ she couldnt give a rats arse where he is.
Interestingly they play seperatly and with different friends – he just needs her near!
awwwww
aww, well done! he looks so pleased with himself
Thanks and yes he was completly over the moon – to say the least.
Bless him. Well done
Thank you – if he ever learns to read and finds this blog he is going to have a big swede!
That is such a sweet picture. I just want to give him a big cuddle! He looks so proud xx
I could mail him to you? no need to rush to return him……… (:))
Ok, we can do a day exchange for my lippy 3 year old?
of course *smiling* the real plus is he comes with a buy one get one free offer…..
Aw, very sly – very sly xx
not daft me! I can even send them to you riding the dog, of course you would have to keep the dog then as well…..
Oh bless, he looks so proud! That actually brought tears to my eyes because of the story that went with it. Good on him – being liked by your peers is a worthy skill that’ll stand him in good stead
x
Awwww thankyou x x x x
Oh I LOVE this – the pride is written through him like a stick of rock – brilliant
cheers
Wow they get medals too??? He looks v pleased, bless!
Aww way to go. I have twin neices who are going to be in the same class as my son, it will be tough x
good luck to him!
He looks so happy, brilliant that he got it for being kind x
I know I was ever so proud
