The city we moved from had a city wide children's track meet this last spring. Dude was super excited to sign up. Megaman wanted to, but he was a year too young. The girls, most especially Princess, did not want me to sign them up. I was a mean mom and signed them both up anyway. The day of the meet, Princess was super angry that I had signed her up and refused to wear running clothes. When we got there she saw some friends practicing for the long jump so she went over. She tried her first jump and realized that she was really good at it. She was more than happy to compete then, and I turned into a smart mom.
The kids did great! Honey Bunch took first in all three events (50m race, softball throw, and long jump). There were only two girls in her group, but she did do well. ;-)
Princess had to compete with 3rd and 4th graders because of her October birthday. She took 1st in the long jump, 2nd in the 50m, and 3rd in the 100m.
Dude did great! He took 2nd in the 50m (only because another boy ran in his lane!), 3rd in the 100m, and 2nd in the long jump.
Doctor was so proud!!! They did such a great job, and it was really fun. I see many more track meets in our future!
