Just A Little Competitive!

I am competitive... I try to hold back at the appropriate times but I can't help smile when my team, my husband, my son, my daughter or I win! I know church and school are all about having no winners, no mvp's, and no special treatment.

I understand the reasons, not wanting kids to feel left out or disappointed or sad.

I do get that.

But...

Without competition it is a little hard to succeed... to pull ahead in life... to reach all my goals or to cheer how I want to for my little boy.

As mark would say... "No competition just breeds mediocrity!"

Last night as Jacob took first place in the Rocket Derby for Cub Scouts I was a little torn... I wanted to start jumping, giving high 5's, and booyahing (if that is even a word) because he crushed the competition!!! But being Primary Pres... I didn't think that was appropriate in the church gym with all my little primary kids around so I held out and simply said, "good job buddy."

I feel like I let him down a little...

I am so proud of everything he does, how hard he works to be # 1 in everything and most of all how competitive he is...

So this is my blog... my family memories.... I guess that gives me the right to brag, and cheer my kids on like I know I should.

Good Job Buddy!!! "BOOYAH" "High 5"

I am your #1 fan always.
