Tonight was a great night for wrestling, given Koye didn't do his best but these kids were older and have been doing it a little longer. He wrestled Dylan, his cousin and was doing really well but gave up. Poor kid started to cry and if any of you know me I don't handle crying well!! Not at all!! Needless to say I had to walk away, but both of us calmed down and I told him that if he wrestled his best that I would let him get his very own ice cream from Kiwi Loco (my all time favorite ice cream place). He wrestled the next kid and pinned him but it took him longer than usual. He still did great. I'm so proud of him for not giving up. After the match I asked him if he was happy he wrestled again and with tears in his eyes he said, "Mom I don't like 2nd place, I only like 1st, 2nd isn't very good." I was laughing so hard, sometimes kids have to learn that they can't win everything and Koye is slowly but surely learning that, So either he will work harder so he doesn't lose or he will deal with it. Who knows he is only 5!!! On our way to Kiwi Loco Cain was talking about how bad he sucked at wrestling in high school and Koye says, "Dad, if you ever want to wrestle with, what do you call them, um.. What you and mom are, um.. adults, I will teach you all my moves if you want me to!" So stinkin sweet of him to offer that!! He is such an amazing kid and growing up so fast, everyday is something new!!
I have to add in that I really don't care for Easter candy, but I will tell you these are by far my favorite. Blackfoot, the lame city that it is didn't have any. Seriously Wal-mart, Ridleys, Walgreens and even Keslers. I had to make a quick stop at Target because I knew they had some!! Gosh Blackfoot really needs to get with it!! Haha
