A couple of weekends ago was the Aquafina Pitch Hit & Run competition out at the Farmington ballpark. The plan was that as soon as Mike got back to town, he would stop out at the soccer field so that as soon as Micah's soccer game was done they could race out to Farmington for a regular practice and then the competition. Maddy decided to go with, which gave me time at home to work on my final semester projects. Yipeee!!
Mike called after the competition to let me know that BOTH kids participated and they had a great time. Wow! I was surprised to hear that Maddy did it because she has never had an interest whats-so-ever in t-ball, little league, or softball. But I thought to myself, what the heck, more power to her.
This evening I was going through school folders and in Maddy's was a sealed envelop with her name on it. Odd....it looked like an adult's hand-writing. So, being the curious mom that I am, I opened it, only to find two blue ribbons and a letter indicating that Maddy had won her division as All-Around Champ and Running Champ. Those of you who know Maddy know that she's just about as athletic as you can get. She was born an athlete.
The dilemma...other than Micah being crushed when he finds this info out, is, do we take her to Middleton for sectional competition????? My gut instinct says "no".
What are your thoughts on this? Please let me know...
Maybe she just won't be interested, and then your dilemma is solved. But, you'd hate for, in the future, her to find out about it and feel like you squelched her dreams and ambitions... wow! That's a hard one. It does look like Micah has won tons of awards and such through Scouts, so maybe he won't be totally broken up? LOL! Wishful thinking, huh?
