Pole Vault...Really???

2 posts in one day!!!! Yay me!!!

My poor son Bayley takes after me. I am 5 foot tall 0 inches!!!! with a rather large behind. This is Bayley's 7th grade year which means Jr High sports. Football went OK. He was a starter on offense and defense for the B team. Then in basketball he was the starting point guard for the B team. He is very athletic but being soooooo small he really needs to be fast and he is NOT!!!! So now comes track, he is not fast enough for any of the sprints, he doesn't like long distances, he tried out for long jump and didn't make it duh. So one day last week, when i thought he was going to have to go to off season, he comes home and tells me he is doing the pole vault!!!!! Really, my little baby boy is going to run with a long stick and fling himself into the air!!! If only you could see the visions in my head!!! So last Thursday was the first track meet and my husband and I were unable to make it since it was out of town. Luckily the wind was blowing so hard the pole vault event was cancelled so today they have a track meet here and I guess we will see how this goes!!!! Please dear Lord keep my baby safe!!!
