Today Owen had his first "race". He was a contender...or should I say, participant, in the JDRF Beat the Bridge Diaper Derby. We had high hopes, really high hopes for this kid but they diminished drastically after today's performance.
He was set. Had a race bib. Oldest of the crawlers by far. He even gave this nice camera man some good footage (he asked for Owen's name and age so watch for him on Prime Time). Then, the race started and Owen froze. Crawled a foot, turned around, stared at me and sat. It was sad, really sad. The child of two college athletes...we had been defeated. No biggie O, next year you'll nail it.
After we composed ourselves from our loss Al tried to show Owen what it might feel like to score the winning touchdown for the Huskies in the year 2029. He gave us some camera shots and then decided it was time for a nap...in the end zone. He must be tired from all his TDs!!! Bob Rondo will be talking about this kiddo someday for sure.
What a great way to start the week! We laughed so hard this morning looking at these. Wish we could have been there!!!
