debate 2013

(crummy iPic sneakily taken while they are competing)

Thomas has had a very busy week. Shakespeare plays every single day and then yesterday the District Debate Tournament.

I went over to watch him in action and I thought he and his partner did a great job, although admittedly, I know nothing about debate.

They were arguing against "the support of nuclear energy in Utah."

I worried though because he told me that earlier in the week his coach (a volunteer mom) realized she had taught them a technique wrong and they had to re-learn what they were doing.

There are hundreds of kids from the district competing, so imagine our surprise when he came home with a FIRST PLACE trophy!

He was so thrilled he could hardly stop bouncing around.  And, if you know tippy -toe-Thomas, you know he is really bouncy.

I'm sure his first place win is due to his exceptional skill and has nothing to do with all the arguing debating he hears around here.......right?right?

On to the state meet we go!
