She got the trophy she wanted
I think I forgot to write this story about Sierra.
I believe this happened when she was 4 because that year we went to 19 pulls and she placed in every one. She only got a few 3rd's, and the rest were all 1st and 2nd. We went to a pull in Elesian and there was a tractor on 1st place, a star on second place and there wasn't a top on the 3rd place. We showed her the trophies and she told us she was going to get the 2nd place one because she wanted the star. We told her she needed to do her best and she said she didn't like the tractor trophy. During the pull, we showed her that she had to pass "this spot" because that's where the 1st place kid was and then we showed her that "this spot" is where the 2nd place kid was. (I think she happened to pull last so that's why we were able to show her these places.) We told her the spots according to what was in the road or what the person was wearing alongside the road so she knew how far she had to go. Anyway, before the pull, she asked if stopped between those 2 spots if she would be in 2nd place. We of course said yes, but that she had to do the best she could. Well, she was going and going and suddenly she stops right in between the place where 1st and 2nd place were so where she stopped, she was then in second place. I told her I was so proud of her, etc for doing her best and then she said, "No mommy, I could have gone farther, but I told you I wanted the trophy with a star on it!" My jaw just dropped. I couldn't believe it!!! She was ever so excited to get her star trophy. When she got it she said, "I don't have one of these yet!" Everyone in the audience heard that and started laughing. Ugh. . . That's my girl!!
Peace.
