Proud Mummy Moment

Okay so I am finally going to blog about Miss Millies AMAZING result in her school cross country a couple of weeks ago. Her teacher said to me on the morning of the cross country that she would be running with only six of her classmates and also the remainder of the junior school who were 7,8.9 year olds as she had completed the training runs well - to be honest I was a little concerned but figured worst case scenario she would walk...........

So Millies group is the last to go and they are running 1.8km in total, not too long afterwards the first girl home arrives (she is 8 years old) and while I am standing there talking to one of the other Mum's, I noticed a small figure running the last few hundred metres and the mum I was talking to said



'Isn't that Millie?'

I replied 'She wouldn't be back that soon'



But blow me down it was her - running flat out!!! After I picked my jaw up I went to the finish line to welcome the wee poppet and had to laugh as all the girls cheering her on at the finish line were high fiving her lol!!!!

When she finished the race I was giving her a big hug and she started crying so I asked her what was wrong to which she replied "I thought I was lost Mummy cause there was no-one in front of me!!!' I tried to explain to her that that was a good thing while trying not to laugh as it sounded so damn cute!!!! The Head of PE at the school caught up with me after the race and said they had checked with all the marshals around the course to make sure she hadn't strayed off the course as she ran the second fastest time in the whole junior school and also to make sure she had been safe on the course while running on her own!!!


To say we are proud of her is a major understatement - she loves all sports, dances 3 times a week, swimming lessons and hockey each week so to see her excel is just awesome!!! Definitely a proud mummy moment!!!
