Today Tyler took home the gold. That's right. Tyler's Basketball program through i9 sports gives out weekly medal's to one kid at the end of each game. Each week focuses on a different aspect of Sportsmanship. Now I have to say I didn't think Tyler would get a medal because honestly he is not the best sport out there. We've had to talk to him each week telling him how important it is to high five other teammates when they get the gold medal. And say "good game" to the opposing team players. It was getting down to the wire and every week he was getting quite upset about not getting the medal. But I would tell him he'd have to prove his sportsmanship before getting it. Now we were only one week shy of ending the season and today's lesson? Patience. This was quite fitting because he really is a good sport about not getting mad when he has to sit out or waiting to get back into the game. He's great about letting others have the ball. And for 7 weeks waiting for a gold medal in Patience. As the old adage says, Patience is a virtue. Congrats Tyler on a job well deserved.

So awesome, WTG Tyler! Woot! J gets super upset when other kids get ribbons at swimming when he doesn't. Of course, he's perfectly fine if they don't get one while he does, lol!
