The Gold Medal
On Saturday, Jacob's friend Annabelle competed in a figure skating tournament. She took home 2 silver medals! Jake was super excited for her but asked why he doesn't get trophies or medals. So one came the talk about team sports, indiv sports, etc etc. After practice, the kids had a pizza party and were given certificates from the coach. One was a certificate of achievement, one was a hockey card personalized from the coach, and the last was (drum rolllll)--a GOLD MEDAL! I wish I could have captured the look on his face, it is so difficult to explain, other than true joy, it was priceless!
