It was small child's first sports day. We had high hopes. She is a 3 year old Zola Budd, I boasted on Facebook. For a second, I considered making 'Team Small Child', Tees and banners. But I didn't want the other parents to feel inferior.
We were so optimistic, due to previous form in a toddlers race at big child's school. But at her very own sports day, well, she didn't put in her best performance. In the race where she had to pick up a bean bag, put a dolly in the buggy and race around the cone, she was lacking concentration.
In the sprint, she had a false start and then didn't notice when the others ran off.
So the medal cupboard is bare, but she came home with lots of stickers (every one's a winner these days), a pink Mini Milk and a smile. Next year Zola, next year...

Oh the joy that is sports day!!
Full of hope but normally ends in tears and disappointment. At least she got a sticker and a pink mini milk. I would have ran around a few cones with a dolly pram for a mini milk.

So recognisable (to my shame). ;-)
I used to be all sporty spice during the year and really really crap at sports day. Too much pressure...
Re your house question. Our buyer's mortgage fell through. But we might put an offer on a place we've seen anyway. I find this all very frustrating and stressful...
Really, I'd consider swapping her for a differnt, concentration promising model. That'll show her.
ps word very is fably
Tell her not to worry - I was always last on sports day......
I thought they weren't allowed to have winners and losers these days?
Oh I blush with recognition!!
Luckily I was spared these kinds of ambitions as neither child had a grain of sporting ability, to their father's great disappointment.
I have a show meme over on my blog for you.
How brilliant! I too have a daughter not blessed in the sports department (much to husband's chagrin) but she still enjoys sports day. Great fun!
