Nate ran his first race today! He ran the 200 meter dash (1/2 a lap around the field) in the annual Turkey Trot at the high school. He did awesome! He was so focused and proud of himself when he finished. Nate came in 4th or 5th but all the kids got a participation ribbon, a doughnut and hot chocolate (yeah that was the highlight for me too!) Maybe it's all the hormones but I got teary eyed when I saw him out there with all the other kids doing something all on his own. Nate told me after the race he was pretending to be Starscream (a transformer for those of you who don't have little boys) and that is what gave him the strength to run so fast! Gotta love the superhero complex!
That's Nate in the orange shirt closest to the camera.

Ok, I love that he was being Starscream! Too cute!! Thats how it is at our house. Jake is always Optimus though. I guess he prefers trucks :)
