Our little runner

August 1st, 2007 | by Dawn |

This past Friday, Kevin ran the Jr. Bix. He and the other one year olds went seventy yards and got a medal at the end! Kevin had a great time and was very pleased with his medal. In preparation for the run, I bought him some new shoes. He LOVES them. For the first few days he wore them all of the time. He cried when we took them off and they were the first thing he went to when he woke up. Before bed he would take his bath, get jammies on and then the shoes 🙂 Now the novelty seems to have worn off a bit, but he still gets excited when we put them on.

    Congratulations to Kevin on his 1st run. He looks proud in the picture. That is quite a story about Kevin’s new shoes. It is great when the parents buy the child something and he loves it. Way to go Mom & Dad (and thanks for sharing about Kevin.) I love reading the latest on his website.

    P.D. I hope I get to see him run when we visit the Tacketts!

    I love Kevin’s new shoes. I say “nice shoes!” and he looks down at them with a big smile on his face.
