The sun shone today. How good was that? So excited by it that it prompted me to toddle into Kenilworth to do a spot of shopping – an activity that I have been avoiding for months. I came home laden with goodies which sprang a few endorphins into life.
I stayed on in Kenilworth because this afternoon it was Freddie’s Sports Day. Given our knowledge of previous sports days, we said all the right things like, ‘It’s the taking part that counts,’ and ‘It doesn’t matter where he comes, as long as he enjoys himself.’
Imagine our surprise when Freddie, warming up on the start line and missing the required sprint start, managed to overhaul all the others in the race and go on to win it! Gone were all thoughts of ‘just taking part’ as we whooped and hollered with joy at his achievement. Hehe!
He, too was delighted, as he excitedly showed off his ‘I am First’ badge to his class mates, and to us when we got home. Nice one, Fred! Ah… the sweet smell of success!
Quiz Night tonight – and it was lovely to see my friends. I didn’t know any of the answers though and just grinned inanely like a Cheshire Cat all evening.
Nevertheless, I have counted today as a good day. Another stitch to patch up the broken fabric. Fingers crossed for more to come.
Go Freddie 😃
That must have so exciting xx
Gosh, it really was!!
Gosh I’d have barely recognised him, he’s grown up so much! Didn’t he do well?!!! Great photos Anne.
Hehe!! I don’t think we can every recognise them when they start losing their teeth!! And yes, he did well!
