Last Tuesday, we went to Jackson's chess tournament. After the first round, (which was technically the 5th round. The kids had played the first 4 rounds during school on Monday.), we all had to go to the music room for safety due to a bad storm in the area. Then, after about 30 minutes in there, they called off the rest of the tournament so we could all get home safely.
He's the cutest!
On Wednesday morning at school, the kids played their sixth and final round in the tournament. When I picked J up that afternoon, I asked him how he did, and he said that he came in 5th place!! He was so excited! He said when Mr. Ball--the school counselor and the leader of the chess club--called his name for 5th place, he ran on stage! There were about 45 to 50 kids competing in the chess tournament, so coming in 5th place--after only learning how to play the game a year ago!--is a huge deal!! We are so proud of him!!
