It wasn't the
Olympics but competitive spirit was in full swing Saturday. Rick decided to enter the boys into the Open Wrestling Regional Tournament mainly so they could gain experience, knowing that they would be up against more expereinced wrestlers. Baylor went 2-0 but
Jax ended up having a great day and even qualified for the state tournament by placing in the top 6. He probably could have placed a little higher, but once he realized that he had a medal wrapped up he lost a little of his competitve drive. We are very proud of him and Baylor.
As the boys returned from their tournament, Delaney and I were walking out the door to her first dance competition. She actually came down with strep on Friday, but by Saturday evening she had 24 hours of anti-biotic in her system and was insistent on competing. Her group took 1st place overall in their age group. They received a team trophy and each girl took home a ribbon and medal. By the time she received her medal, it was close to 11:00 and her make-up was pretty much smeared all over her face. She was pretty excited even at such a late hour.
Maybe most of all, I am so proud of Baylor who didn't receive a medal, but was a true champ in supporting his brother and sister. He told
Jax on several
occasions that he was so proud of him for getting a medal. He then came home and greeted his sister by saying, "Delaney, you look very pretty." This morning, when Delaney announced to her brothers that she had earned a medal at her dance
competition, he immediately celebrated with her. Seeing all three of them share in and celebrate each others accomplishments was the absolute best.
