J.R. Makes Top 100 Finalists in the South Florida Parenting Magazine Cover Contest!!!
The South Florida Parenting Magazine held a Cover Kids Contest for 2008. I entered all my kiddos in it.
Today, I received an email saying CONGRATULATIONS, your child has been selected as one of the top 100 Cover Kids Contestants for the 2-4 year age group (this means it's J.R.). There were over 4,500 entries! He is scheduled to attend a party on September 13th for the final judging of his age group! The winner will be featured on the cover of the South Florida Parenting Magazine. I am so very proud of my little photogenic man!

Hi Pat!!!
It's not sold, it's a local parenting magazine that's given out sponsoring all the "kid friendly" stores and all the local special events. They are distributed to all the stores, daycares and other local merchants. "If" he actually makes it on the cover I will send one to you.
