Well, everyone it is that time once again! My son Patrick has done two of his special olympic meets. He went to the district one while I was in Chicago...haven't heard the end of that one! and he did the regional one yesterday. So far he is doing pretty good. The "Grasshopper" is slipping a little bit in his long jump...but the competition is getting tougher as he gets older...which is good for him. So far he has won a gold in the softball throw...amazing, we are soooo proud cause this is not his forte' at all!...gold and a silver in the 100 meter dash...and a two bronze in the long jump. I am soooo proud of him cause he has been practicing real hard.
He won't be going to the State games this year because he is a senior and the seniors never go. There is just tooo much other things going on right now. He is going to the prom with one of the girls in his special ed class....we went and got his tux and he is ready to dance!!! Just thought that I would toot his horn a little again!
BTW Jan, I talked with my buddy Sherry the other day and she and her family are set to go to the Cher retreat. She said that they had to close the registration because they have gotten so many families going! I know she and her family are really looking forward to it! I told her that if Cher comes tell her I said hi...she just laughed! I know they will have a blast...they did last year. Sherry really needs this cause both her son and herself had to have surgeries this year. ' DEE
