Yesterday was the day and lets just say I am glad that everyone did flat donations bc he was being so shy and unsocial that he barely did ONE lap!! When we got there he was so excited and wanted to jump on a bike and go. But as we got closer to the other kids (older), he started to close himself up!
He had this look on his face almost the whole entire time...such a daddy look...lol!!
He was so bad (not in a bad child way) that his teacher...Mrs. Donna...was pushing him around.
We even tried switching bikes but he really enjoyed the one he helped decorate.
But wouldn't you know it...after it started to die down and some of the other kids left. He started pedaling on his own and making his own course to follow!!
And then the smile finally came to his face!
They even got all the kids lined up and did a parade of bikes and trikes...lol!!
After they were done with the laps they got to have some Popsicles...well, more like unfrozen Popsicles...lol!! But that didn't stop Damien from downing 3 of them!!
Maddy and Jenny came to cheer on Damien...too bad it didn't work...lol!! She even got in the action and sat on a bike!!
Lance was a champ...he was being loved on by Vicky, Jenny and myself.
Thanks to those that sponsored Damien on that day!!!

That's funny. It reminds me of what some of the old time comic actors used to say, "Never work with animals or kids." I know exactly how Damien feels though; been there, done that. He was out of his comfort zone, but it was good that you took him out of it a little without pushing him too hard. He's still a little boy, but its never too early to start acclimating to "what's to come!... Life!" Way to go mom... keep up the good work. gramps
