On Wednesday they had a test run for the cars just to make sure every car would do well on the track. In the test run, Ruth lost to the other kid she was racing against. She was disappointed, and it was a great opportunity for us to talk with her about not always needing to win and having fun making the car with Daddy and Papa Greg. We also explained that this was only one test run, and the real races were still to come.
Fast forward to today...within her age group, Ruth took first place in the general race!! And as a bonus, she took 3rd place for design! You could say her countenance was slightly changed :)
