My Boy has Heart!

Well Summer has officially started, I don't know if it is the fresh smell of the Lilacs outside of our windows or the incessant sound of that ice cream truck(i swear there must be a rule that the ice cream truck MUST play a certain song... they all play the same song) Kids are going to grow up not knowing twinkle twinkle little star without associating it with ice cream. This morning on our way into work/nanny's house Austin and i were talking about his track meet that he participated in on Wednesday(they have a summer program Mike is doing that allows the kids to race as well) So every Wednesday Austin is going to be running his little legs off, so anyways this morning he was telling me about doing the different races etc and he said he no longer wanted to do the 400 because it was a full loop on the track and by half the loop his legs wanted to fall off. he said that he wanted to work his way up to it, he told me he knew he could kill it on the 100 so he was going to do that as a warm up and then work on his 200 and once that was perfect he'd try the 400 again as long as his legs hadn't fallen off yet lol. He has heart! He also wants to perfect his long jump and high jump! Makes me proud of him for not giving up. He was pretty bummed cause he got 7th in the 400 and 4th in the 200. which is GREAT but if he's not in 1st its not good enough for him... like i said, he's got heart!! He went swimming yesterday with nanny and the kiddos it was so funny he said after his loooong day and then his track meet he just needed to relax and do some pool therapy ha-ha not sure what his "pool therapy" is but he came home wiped out, he did say he "allowed" himself a little fun and went down the big kid slide a couple times:) Awww what can i say? my "baby" is getting to be a "BIG KID"
