The week of almosts.

This has been a hard week for our oldest, and he has come through it with flying colors.
He ran for secretary of student council. He almost won....but didn't by ONE vote.
He had his first tackle football game last night. They went into overtime against one of the best teams in the league....and lost.
The Stuco defeat was no big deal to him. His teachers handed him an invitation to math club as soon as they knew he lost. He'd rather do Mathletics anyway...and he hates to write. I never did quite understand why he ran for secretary.
The football loss was a little harder to swallow, but as we pointed out, next week can be better. The kids returning to the team were VERY happy with how the game went. They lost their first game 36-0 last year. The improvement is amazing. He's part of the difference. He's doing just fine.
This morning he's playing video games. He's doing just fine.
