And the winner is....

Woo-Hoo!!!!

He did it.

I made sure that I charged the video camera this morning and put a fresh tape in so I could capture his speech live.  Only too bad for me, the teachers had a little change in plan and while I was helping set up the polling place, I looked out and B was already mid way through his speech.  So much for me and my pre-charged video camera.  I was so bummed.

It was official!  They went into the teacher's lounge to vote behind little privacy folders, then they received an "I Voted for Third Grade Class President" sticker.  Afterward, the votes were counted:

And my little guy emerged the winner!!!  He was so excited, it was priceless.  And to top it off, no school tomorrow!  What a great day!
