Ever had the experience of standing on a drenched patch of grass next to someone you met in your younger years and suddenly realizing, "Hey! Those kids belong to us! We aren't in our younger years anymore!" I didn't get a photo of Elaine chasing Rowan with the Flip, but I enjoyed spectating immensely. As she says herself, "He sashayed" off the field. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Noah, on the other hand, ran flat out (see photo). He was having a great time and you'd see it had his mother checked camera settings to make sure his face was visible to the naked eye! He came in second in the sprint and was pretty pleased. His relay team got first place and he took 3rd in the long jump. Being long and lanky has its perks.
I missed seeing the long jump because the heavens opened on Sports Day, Take 1 and Sports Day, Take 2 was held another day when I was otherwise occupied. At any rate, I am sure the sprint was the most exciting event. Noah says he got lucky because the boy who usually gets 2nd was away that day but I think he would have been second no matter what.
We are in the final days of Noah's first year at the beloved Rosetta Primary...imagine that!

Wow, last days of Rosetta Primary!!! How time flies - what comes next?!?
Oops. I should have said the last days for this year. He will be in Primary 7, the final year, next autumn. Great news is that he has the same teacher for next year so we know her and she knows him...it's such a nice wee school.
