June - Special Olympics

As some of you may remember, I was in early intervention for a speech delay from the time I was 18 months old to the time I turned 2 (I know, hard to believe, right?) ANYWAY, after they released me from the program they invited me to stay at my playgroup as a role model student for the other kiddos. Our whole class was invited to participate in the special Olympics! It was very challenging...


I had to run across the floor and pick up ONE turtle to put in a basket.

I did an obstacle course...over, under, jump, go through...

I had to throw a ball.

I had to kick a ball.

I had to hit a ball off a cone with a paddle.

I had to throw froggies into a basket.

It sure was tiresome!!!!

Good thing Baby Sister was there to support me. Go Memphis!

At the end I got a gold medal!!!!! I shouted, "GOLD MEADOW - I juss like Aussin!" (Austin from the Backyardigans won a gold medal when he ran a race!)
