Kiddie Olympics

Ok, I'm officially that over-the-top, gushing, proud Mom. Our community had its annual corn boil and kidddie Olympics this past weekend. I assumed Reese was too young to partake and would simply wander around and enjoy all the excitement of the afternoon. Mark felt otherwise and signed her up for a number of the events. So there she was, at the head of the line for the long jump. In my mind, there was NO WAY she would make the long trek down the path and then jump at the end, especially in front of so many people. But I held my breath, camera in hand, and just hoped for the best. And here's what my little peanut butter cup did:

Yep, here she is beating it down to the end as fast as her little feet would carry her:

Can you see Dad cheering her on?

It's a long way for a 2 year old.

And then my little athlete stopped and jumped with ALL of her might.

I will admit, a tear may have slipped out of my eye. I couldn't have been more proud:-) Unfortunately I missed her throwing the shot put (YES, she did!!!!) but rest assured we will be there again next year with the video camera!
