Yesterday was Colden's first elementary track meet; he is a little pro! I L O V E D being able to watch + cheer him and his teammates on as they did each different event. Colden has spent the last few weeks preparing and getting ready to the big track day -- afterschool practices, extra hours spent perfecting baton handoff (conversations I never thought I would be having in grade 1...…..Colden is left-handed and in most athletic situations, his left is his dominate hand. In the week leading up to track meet, the students had a couple of relays as preparation. Colden was quite concerned that if he was unable to use his left hand, his team would come in second because he wouldn't be able to run as fast as he would using his left-hand!) and lots of excitement in anticipation of this milestone!
They had an absolutely perfect day. Lots of sunshine with a little breeze. It was a beauty of a day and I was just so proud of Colden. I have sooo many pics (and videos!) when I was going through the photos for this post it was hard to narrow it down to 1 photo/hour!

The day was lovely but exhausting
