Brady participated in his first Pinewood Derby race today through Boy Scouts. He and Jason used a "funny car" pinewood kit to create their piece of art on wheels. Brady placed second in his den, and we were very proud of him. This was not what Brady was hoping to accomplish today as he saw the trophies glistening on the judge's table. At one point, caught up in the moment, he came up to me and said, "Mom, I'm ready to quit Boy Scouts." He learned a hard lesson today--facing defeat and accepting second place is not easy. Secretly, I am happy he placed second and learned this difficult lesson. He is now trying to convince Jason and me that we should build him a pinewood derby ramp in the basement so he can continue to race his car and be better prepared for next year:)!
