The beginning of the season

Yesterday was the Reds' opening day...a legitimate holiday in the Cincinnati area!  Unfortunately, we didn't really get to experience much because the first pitch was at 4:10 and Robert's track meet began at 4:30.  We were home in time to catch the end though...hoping for better things tomorrow!

And yes, yesterday was also the beginning of track and field season...a first for us!  Robert is throwing the discus and he really likes that.  He had two fouls yesterday and his third throw went less than 50 feet (the winner threw over 100ft) but I'm sure we will see much improvement as the season continues.  He also ran the 100m hurdles (great form but oh my goodness slow) and then was involved in the 4x100 relay.  We have no idea why the coach thought that was a good fit for him since he is much better at distances than sprints, but he kept them competitive out of the blocks.  His next meet is Thursday and we'll see what happens there!
