The excitement of his first derby (he LOVES being a cub scout)...
The cars all lined up, ready to race...
J's car (Mike is very into raising independent kids, so he let J do it all on his own. If I had any idea how to build anything, I probably would have tried to soup it but, but I have NO building skills, so it was all his)...
Hopefully watching the first race...
His didn't win...almost ever. In fact it lost every race but one...
Do you think he enjoyed losing?
He didn't, but his good friend came in first place!
And Mike, ever the teacher, told him to stop pouting and check out the cars that were winning and see what they had done to make them so fast...go see where their weight was and what their shape was. He did, and it got him out of his funk, until he realized the winners got REAL prizes.
Hmmm, maybe next year we can get our friend's dad to help us out?
