In 2006, there was an art competition run by our local Homebase which had just moved to a bigger site. The prize was the chance to officially open the store with the Mayor and Kieron won in his category. I had a phone call from his school while I was at work to tell me he had been chosen and the little monkey hadn't even told me about it! We had to be at the store at 7.30 in the morning and Kieron helped to cut the ribbon, followed by an earnest chat with the Mayor and biscuits and juice in the staffroom. Kieron's picture was of a dog and a tree and was posted in the store for best part of a year.
Every time we drove past or went in the shop, Kieron would say it was his shop. We still call it 'Kieron's Homebase'.
In year 4 Kieron was put on the Gifted and Talented Register for Art and Drama and again for each of the next two years.
Today we heard that Callum had won the national Paperchase Christmas Card competition and his card will be sold globally. As a Graphic Design student, this is a real accomplishment and a recognition of Callum's talent. I just wish that Kieron was here to tease him and to show him how proud of his big brother he is.
