Let the Fundraisers Begin!

Well it's official.  I am the parent of a school-aged child.  A few weeks ago I gave my first donation to my own child's PTA fundraiser.  Jaxton was very excited that we donated enough to win "the bright green T-shirt prize".  And he got to wear it to the fundraiser run at the high school track.  He felt very big.  He actually did a really good job.  He ran 3/4 of a lap on that track before he broke down in tears from a side cramp.  After we took a rest and got some water, I convinced him that it was ok to walk.  He had a hard time coping with that until he saw his teacher walking, too.  All was ok after that and he walked 3 more laps.  His teacher was so nice and walked with Kayla and Jaxton the whole last lap so that I could take a break and sit on the sidelines with Jenna.  I welcomed the break and enjoyed just watching him.  I can't believe how big he is.

I love how Kayla is trying so hard to stay in step with them.
