Running races.




It was the school sports carnival today at the language school. Kindy kids are a bit young for it for the whole day so they start the carnival off with a Kindy running race.

Peanut  took his spot straight away  he was in his shinny silver knights cape and his buzzlight year beanie Shrimples had given him to wear  that morning. They had to wait a while but they did really well peanut waited for well over 10 minutes they did some stretches  and the EA’s reminded the kids of what would be happening. The race started and they were off 5 boys running all having a really good time. Peanut ended up being half way behind them but he kept running with the biggest grin on his face, cape flapping in the wind and I couldn’t be prouder .  The 4 other boys finished very close to each other  and about 7 or 8 seconds behind them was my smiley guy he got so excited when he crossed the line and looked very proud of himself  he got a sticker which scared the crap out of him as he didn't know the man coming toward him trying to touch his chest LOL. We watched the girl’s race then he told me to go away and off he trotted to watch a few more races with his class.

 I can’t stop watching the video of the race.  I find it pretty emotional and backpacker had a tear in his eye watching it.
I wish he had won of corse I do but he has no competitive drive he doesn’t understand  he is ment to win and thats okay he just runs as if he is jogging on the beach on a beautiful summer morning and he enjoys every minute, and thats what life is about isn't it.

 God I love him
