Innovation... SUCCESS!!!!

Morgan's class recently held an "innovation fair," where the kids were presented with the task of developing something that society "needs" and doesn't already have... They could improve upon an already created idea or they could start from scratch. Of course, Morgan decided to develop an idea from scratch... Hmm... What to do???

We often say that Morgan has a "speaking disorder," as in she. does. not. stop. talking. EVER! Which for the most part is fine, the things that come out of her mouth are priceless. Such as, "Mommy, someday when I break up with a boyfriend, I am going to say, 'Listen up ya'll, cause this is it. The beat that I'm bringing is, you go bye bye.'" Seriously, who is this kid? But I digress, the speaking disorder has become an issue at meal time. We have made a stance that we are tired of seeing Morgan's chewed up dinner while she recounts every single event of the day. So wahla! The "Chew Guard" was created! You can talk with your mouth full and no one will be the wiser!

And GUESS WHAT?!?!? This little "innovation" was selected in the top 5 of her class and our little innovator will be advertising her goods at the Discovery Center of Idaho, at a date to be determined. Is our little gal excited, YES!!!! And are we proud, YEP! 

Why yes, those are braces on the "Chew Guard."
