Friday night started a weekend of tractor pulls for us. Friday was the McClain County Free Fair. Peyton competed in the tractor pulls, but he didn't win. There were some small kids that the people running the pulls pushed a long so Peyton missed it by an inch to one of those small kids that got helped. He came in 4th out of 6 with 23 in. He missed 3rd by an inch.My poor baby was heart broken that he didn't get a trophy. When we were leaving he tried to go get one off the table. When he realized that he didn't get one he cried. So did his mama. I felt terrible. He said that he didn't have fun because he didn't win. David and I let him know that no matter the outcome, if he did his best that he is a winner because he tried. It didn't help either that he was tired and didn't have a nap all day that day.
Saturday he woke up telling us that he wanted to go to tractor pulls again. We weren't sure if we were going to take him since he was so upset the night before. We decided that we would since he enjoyed it. We went to the Cleveland County Tractor Pulls this time and it was organized much better than the one in Purcell. Peyton was one of 4, 4 year olds that competed. He came in 2nd with 12.3 inches! He won a trophy! We were/are so proud of him!
