Corwin was asked to be the "junior attendant," "crown bearer," ... whatever you want to call it, for the high school's basketball homecoming program. He was very willing to do it, until he found out he'd have to dress up. He told me he'd do it, but he'd wear his basketball uniform (which consists of a yellow t-shirt and maroon gym shorts). I told him that was not an option, so he began to back out. BUT, then he found out we'd get to go to a basketball game, so I guess we weighed the good with the bad and decided it was worth it!
We borrowed a little suit from a friend of ours, shoes from an acquaintance, bought a tie, and wore a hand-me-down dress shirt, and the results were stellar!
And, he had a crowd of fans, too. Nana, Pa, Brett, Jeremy, Kerrie, Jack, plus all of us were there to watch his walk onto the court and up on stage.
This picture is really poor, but he had the important job of carrying the king's crown and placing it on his head. He did great! Kerrie (Aunt Toot-Toot) asked him before the program if he was excited, and he said yes. She asked if he was nervous, and he said nope!
Another pay-off was that he got to get out of class Friday afternoon to practice. Then, he was allowed to stay for the high school pep rally, which he really enjoyed. I think, all in all, it was worth dressing up. He had a lot of fun! (And so did we.)
