This time last year, when we first started going along to Athletics, it was hard work getting S5 to participate. Now, the transformation has been so very obvious (since I am having the same issue with N4 this year that I had with S5 last year) - he just ran off to the 5 year old group today, by himself (which is a big deal if you know my children), while I accompanied N4 to his 4 year old group.
The look of joy on your face, S5, as you raced on from long jumps to the sprint races was very apparent. Pity it ended a few seconds later when somehow you ran into the arm barrier and got a nasty cut on your face. Next week, darling, you'll be back :-)
And remember, yes, you are right in saying that parents want their children to win [the races], but as I said to you, more importantly, parents want their children to finish at the finishing line. You give it your best shot, baby.
