Special Olympics

So it was a pretty exciting day. Little man competed in the Special Olympics for the first time. He had his "Team Ashton" behind him all the way!

Daddy, Grandpa, Aunty A, Grandma, Mommy and "A"

He competed in three events. The first was a 50m run, second was hockey and third was an obstacle course. He has a peer helper, who is in grade 6 at his school do each event with him. How awesome is it that these kids are wanting to help out and be a part of such a special day?!

He won a total of four ribbons even though he only competed in three events LOL. Its because mommy missed videotaping the obstacle course the first time so he did it over and got another ribbon for it. You can see his ribbons in the above picture.

There was definitely tears...an emotional day for sure. So wonderful to see my little man participate and do so much as he grows up.
