I blogged about it at inception, and I blogged about it in the rain. And now I finally have Mom's Obligatory Trophy Photo of the child who I had to beg and bribe with Abe's Cajun pie in order to elicit a smile.
And even that pie bribery didn't cut the mustard, because she's twelve and way too cool to smile. Lawee had to give me ass-ears in order to drag this expression out of her as I was aiming the camera. Or something - I don't know exactly what he was gesturing above my head, and I can only imagine. Oh, the indignity of it. All for a trophy pic that I roundly deserve anyway. (Can we go back to the Terrible Twos now?? They were orders of magnitude easier!!!!)
So now she proceeds to the District competition, which I believe is on March 1.
