Earlier this year, one of Noah's friends posted a picture on instagram of all the trophies he had accumulated in his short 13 years of life. He had a lot of trophies!! I know this kid has played on lots of basketball and baseball teams. And his teams must have been really good because he had lots of hardware to show for it. Another one of Noah's friends posted that all he had on his shelf was participation ribbons. And then Noah commented he had nothing!
All this lead to a family conversation about how none of our boys had any trophies. I've often said that if we talk about something, it tends to happen (especially in our family!). And wouldn't you know it, 2014 became the year of the trophy in our house. All 3 boys got at least one trophy this year (and it's only June!). We have trophies for the fastest runner, the "hot shot" from basketball camp, a 2nd place basketball tournament trophy, and the "hustle" award from basketball camp.
I love all my boys whether they get trophies or not! But I just might have to post an instagram picture of all our trophies now.
