Track and field day dawned cold and cloudy. Did I mention the wind too? Brr...but we didn't let it dampend our spirits. Colby insisted on no coat and shorts because he can run faster. Also, he had on his new birthday shoes which were very speedy he informed me. I was afraid that Colby would not place in the first event and then would pout for the rest of the day, but he did very well bringing home 4 ribbons.
He got first in both 50 and 100 meter dash which made him very proud. Of course, his hero Rhett was there watching and that prompted him to run even faster. At the softball throw, he assured Rhett that he should have gotten 4th but somebody mixed his flag up. Rhett believed him and went and got him another ribbon. He was probably right b/c he pays attention to small details like that. Sometimes it helps to have people in high places:)
Colby was also lucky b/c his grandma, dad, and Emma came to watch him. Afterwards, Grandma even sat with him at lunch. What a lucky boy.
