1. Cahill family wedding drama has subsided/dissipated/is over. I feel all is well and good and it can and will all be worked out. I really am looking forward to Destination Wedding Bliss!!
2. Scarlet participated in her first track meet and it was (hands down) the sweetest, most precious thing to see these kiddos trying their socks off and running their hearts out (2 just now made up sayings...) The track meet is named The Bosman Classic (in honor of the late, great Bart Bosman, who ran the meet for over 10 years for the Y.) I was extra pleased to have my sunglasses covering the crows' feet as it literally choked me up and brought tears to my eyes to watch these little bittles (ages 6-12) at the starting blocks. I was nervous for all of them and cheered for every single one. It was so amazing to witness the sheer joy of full-on competition at these young ages. It is so rare in our "everyone wins!" society, but there is something highly special about getting out there and sprinting as fast as your little legs will take you. I have not been to a Special Olympics, but this makes me want to go. This experience may be akin to cheering at a marathon for the first time--the emotion of it catches you off guard. You may initially think, "boring...whatever, 26.2 miles...", but you get to witness people physically and emotionally pushing themselves and it is very exciting and inspiring.
Super cool, family fun.
Worst Part(s) of the Day-
1. My little friend, Liam, awoke at 5am.
2. My little friend, Liam was screaming, "Be nice!" at the track meet when he had hit (at mock speed) the proverbial wall at 1pm and needed to be exited. He refused to be strapped in the stroller and it was a kicking and screaming festival leaving the damn cutest athletic competition I had ever seen. Of course, I was being pushed physically and emotionally trying to corral and carry my oh so tired boy out of the stadium and I am certain not one witness was moved or inspired. Eeegads.
