Today I picked up a VERY excited Tanner from kindergarten.  Curious, I asked him how his day was...here is our conversation that followed:

Tanner:  My day was AWESOME!  You will never guess...today I almost got a sticker!
Mom:  Well, congratulations buddy.  That is great!
Tanner: Yeah.  You get a sticker if you are really, really nice and good...and I almost got one (this he says with a quiver of excitement in his voice and a huge smile on his face)
Mom: Well, I'm proud of you for almost getting that sticker.

Tanner wants me to add that he had music today and that he got 10-High Five Awards today (doubtful) and almost got a prize from his school (this one I believe)
