Tonight's Finalists Are…

A couple of nights ago it was the end of year modelling concert last night for our 5 year old James where he received a medal for being a finalist.

Last night it was 7 year old Emily’s turn.

Now Emily is very proudly wearing a medal for being one of 11 finalists in her age category. That puts her in the top 20%.

Again, no trophy, but we’re all pretty pleased.

One of the best parts of the whole deal is to see the genuine thrill that they’ve each had congratulating the other. Both of them seemed just as pleased that their sibling had won something, perhaps even more so, than the fact that they had won something themselves. There was lots of hugs and ‘congratulations, I knew you could do it’ type comments exchanged between the two of them. They are both each others greatest fans.
