Yesterday we went to Kyle's soccer tournament which is run by Special Olympics of New Jersey. Needless to say getting through 4 games was painful especially when Kyle took off screaming around the field....lol
The best part of the whole thing was the end when these kids got medals..everyone gets something and it is presented to them in a true Olympic style, it is incredible to see these little 6-15 year olds be so truly proud of themselves and something they accomplished! It totally brought a tear to my eye and a new thankfulness that Olivia is not challenged in this way. There were kids there that you wouldn't know had something going on and then there were downs children. It was so sweet to see them showing off those medals, I just loved it. It really made me step back and think about just how lucky we are!
So count all of your blessings big and small everyday.
