She had long legs that took her to the front of the pack, but my little legs usually kept me nearer to the back of the pack. I feel for your little one who is apprehensive about the race. I would lay awake looking forward to the new outfit my Mom lovingly sewed for me, the hot dogs and the icecream.....oh but that running race brought butterflies and often afew tears. None the less....my Mom cheered me on and praised my efforts as only a Mom can do. Somehow all 4 of us kids wore ribbons on the way home. Mine was usually won because my bike was so nicely decorated, while the others took home ribbons for their skills on the field. My sister and I laughed together as we thought of how each stage of life brings with it new challenges and accomplishments. You had a perfect day to cheer on the kids. Enjoy your party too.

I think maybe we had somewhat similar childhoods from what you share on your posts. For a time I was the only one in my class that could not wear shorts and I had to wear petal pushers too. I smiled when I read that part, although it was not a real good memory for me. Our family rules changed after that too. And I will always cheer for the child at the back of the race.Just a little something from Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436711032386582707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-37925750813154628452009-06-05T12:14:47.506-07:002009-06-05T12:14:47.506-07:00Ohh..

I remember the first pair my Mom finally bought me after I begged and begged... they were dark blue with beautiful brass buttons up the side of each pantleg. <br />And I don't think I ever wore a pair of shorts to school.. not even on sports day. THAT was the only day I was allowed to wear a pair of pants. We all wore dresses to school in my day - yes.. public school. <br /><br />It really is all about perspective isn't it ? The ones who win easily, love the competition...the ones who have their gifts lie in another area feel the pain of being last. <br /><br />Wouldn't it be wonderful (in a perfect world, of course) if we could recognize the value of everyone's gifting and make room for everyone to shine?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029451742280017744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-18340625661079819882009-06-05T12:00:16.178-07:002009-06-05T12:00:16.178-07:00Judy . ..I was always first in my races too . .in ...Judy . ..I was always first in my races too . .in grade 5 I could beat the grade 7 girls in the 100 meters. . .which was amazing since i have crazy short legs . .. <br />but I too never once thought that sports day might not be fun. . .it was pure exhilaration .. <br />Enjoy that post sports day party.
