Pine Wood Derby Day
The Batmobile made it's debut at our Pine Wood Derby. Nathan loves Boy Scouts more than any activity we do. He loves being with his friends and his leader is great. Our pack is just starting and is small but it is the perfect size for Nathan. He did a great job and was so happy to see his buddies cars. The four Tigers all raced together four times and we came in 3rd overall. At least we made it down the track in one piece. Nathan was hoping that they would each win one heat so they could all tie. His best friend won and represented the Tigers in the overall pack race.
It made me proud to see him happy for his friend and not worried about winning. He has had a great couple of days with many positive choices.
This past couple of weeks has been hard for him since I've worked more than usual. He keeps asking when we can have time just the two of us. It breaks my heart. We spent some time together this weekend but I owe him more one on one time soon.

Nathan sounds like a great boy! And you are a great Mom, Julie, even when you have to work more than usual.
This sure brought back memories... My father and brother and I would make these cars and race them! Nathan is a dear...
