"The Olympics"

This past weekend Holland Rec had the annual Little People Olympics. Parker was in it for the first time and it was sooo cute. About 150 kids were there and they were all able to do 4 events. Tennis Ball Throw, Soccer Ball Kick, Standing Long Jump and Running. Here he is getting ready for the Tennis Ball Throw.

Running the 40 Yard Dash. Every event up until the race he was so happy and excited when he was done. Not the case with the 40 or 60 yard dash. He is a bit competitive and didn't like not winning. Believe me when I say we know he has this side of him and we have been talking to him and preparing him for this. Saying it is fine to finish wherever as long as you try your best and it is all for fun. As you can see, his dad was at the send off and I was at the finish line and the second he crossed the finish line, he lost it. Sooo heartbroken that he didn't win. I felt so bad for him, but we need to put an end to this, quickly. So, that is our goal for the Summer.

Getting his two ribbons at the end of the morning! So Proud!
