Sports Day, 12th July 2006

3-Legged Race.

preparation is the key...

Whoops!

Ready and waiting!

Potatoe and spoone race (formerly egg and spoon race)
Speedy Gonzales!

It was a lovely day to watch the sports day at Kai's school. She tried hard, and did very well.

After some persuasion jack joined in the toddler race. He thundered along the track and was in the lead, just as he was about to cross the line a woman ran past and dragged her kid behind her (the kids feet were not even on the floor, and he was being dragged by one arm).

At which point Jack stared at her, stopped in his tracks, and cried his eyes out.

Another mum encouraged him to finish. Some other mums came to him and tried to comfort him by saying "You were the real winner Jack, that lady cheated", and "Its a toddlers race and you won it".

Jack stopped crying.

It's amazing the lengths some parents will go to for their kid to win.
