Wayne's Pioneer Pride Award


Wayne was awarded the Pioneer Pride award this past Monday at his school.  He was BEYOND excited that it was his turn, and that several of his friends were also getting theirs, all on the same day!  It was made even more special because Grandma was able to come, and Aunt Tanya came with Ethan and Paige too.  Wayne was speechless to have so many of his favorite people at his school, on his special day. 

He looked like such a big boy up there.
Afterwards, an older lady came up to Tanya, and asked her if the "Wayne Silves" that was awarded was connected to her family.  She told her that yes, Tyler had named his first son after his dad, and the lady had to hold back tears.  Awww.  So nice that almost 30 years after Grandpa Wayne passed away, someone he once knew could be moved to tears by hearing his name - attached to a sweet 5 year old boy, his grrandson.   Wayne and I can't wait to meet him in heaven!
Ethan and Wayne had to have a picture together... and this is what they gave me!  Yeesh.  Boys.
Great job Wayne!  We are so very proud of you.  You are a sweet, nice boy and you play with everyone.  I love coming to your school, and watching you play with your friends, and be helpful to your teacher.  You make us PROUD!  :-)
