Justin's Awesome Car

This week was the Pinewood Derby (only one more to go). Justin designed his car and Todd helped him cut it out and sand it. I helped him paint it. Todd helped him with the wheels. I helped him with the weights. It was Justin's car and he did a lot of the work, but he's only 9. It's crazy to expect him to do everything! But he was very proud of his car. He was trash talking and letting all the other boys know that he was going to win. He didn't. Justin's car came in second place. He won every single race except the one for the win. He put on a brave face, but he was sooo disappointed. He really felt like he deserved it. Poor boy. But we celebrated his second place win and the next day he was OK. There's just so much pressure (on the parents) to win!
Justin got a medal for second place in the racing and a ribbon for "sleekest car". It was a pretty good design! Way to go Justin!
