Heading down to the better part of Joisey

I've been south for a minute and look who found me

Another year.. Another close second.. to his best friend.

So crazy!! I told T that he can’t be upset, he has to show good sportsmanship even in disappointment.

Look at his face. . Second out of 25 is still good!! He needs to be proud of himself and happy for his friend. He said he did tell him “good job” and gave him a high five.. “but I needed to be mad for a moment first, mom. I can’t help it. I just want to win!”

Competitiveness is a good thing.. but putting too much pressure to always win, pouting win lose...that’s not a good thing. This kid is going to have frown lines by the time he’s 15.

Great job T! I cannot believe it has been a year since the last race. Is T’s friend a bit taller? Maybe that is why he wins? Longer legs?

Anniversary day for us! Going out to eat and shop.

Congratulations! Happy Anniversary,

"Come quick! You've almost made it to Wonderland!"

 

[MouseDreaming]

I want to see this! I don’t have anyone to go see it with me though.

I LOVED the series.

Then take yourself out! I am guessing you won't be the only one going solo.

Dinner

Yes, but still a land where pumping your own gas is not allowed.

No, T is taller!!! Not sure if you remember my previous posts from a year or so ago.. but T’s running mechanics have been off for a couple of years now. He’s still fast, but not as fast as we was prior to a huge growth spurt.
He shot up so quickly, and his feet got so much bigger- He’s in a size 6 shoe now!!!, went from size 3.5 to 5, skipped 4 altogether, went to 5.5 in a matter of 3 months, then went to a size 6 a few months after that. He’s growing like a weed! It’s like his body doesn’t know how to react to the growth, and his running form is suffering the consequences. Also doesn’t help that he NEVER stretches enough. I keep telling him that he’s going to get a serious injury if he doesn’t start stretching more.

He went to a personal trainer to work on it last winter, for 10 weeks...it helped some, but I don’t really think it was worth the money. We’ll do it again at 11 if he’s still having issues with his form/speed. That’s the age where I think it matters more. He may just figure it out on his own before then.

I’m almost tempted to do that.

Yeah, a massive growth spurt will throw off coordination.

Fish minus crabs, which are delicious.

You can have the crabs. They are ugly!

We actually like decorating with crab images.

But it's more that they're nasty little things, so we don't feel that bad about eating them.

And, the cold just keeps comin’...!!!!!

Hey @Gabe1 , I am really hoping you aren't at the mall today.
