Sports day in little T’s class happened sometime in mid May in between unpacking all our stuff. It was a busy time for us, I don’t even remember the exact date unless I check our calendar hanging in our kitchen downstairs.
I remember feeling a bit self-conscious because I was wearing jeans too tight for me because I couldn’t find where I packed my other clothes, what box or luggage it was in. Yes, I know you’re probably thinking Why on earth is she keeping jeans that are way too tight for her? No, I don’t keep it as an incentive to lose weight. If I’m honest, I just can’t be bothered to chuck it!
Anyway, going back to T’s Sports Day, I’m just glad that this time she definitely ran the race and actually only skipped once and not the whole of it unlike last year. I also noticed, she was eating her hair in a lot of the photos I took of her like this one:
Here she is waiting for the spring race to begin. I’m proud to report that she didn’t come in last! Yay, go T! 🙂
And of course there was the usual Egg and Spoon Race. I think that’s her I’m really, really concentrating look on her face.
More running …
And jumping …
Then there’s the relay, as you can see, she was way ahead of her friend… Yay, go T! Apologies, had to blur the photos where there are other kids. T’s school is very strict with posting photos online and we are constantly reminded not to … As if I ever would anyway.
And I’m pleased to announce that little T’s team won over-all in the 2016 Sports Day of their school. The school is divided in two teams for the sports day and apparently, T’s team hadn’t won it in six years. I overheard someone say sixteen years! So well done to T’s team!
Has your little one had Sports Day at their school?
Were you ever good at sports?
Do share.
I was really crap at any sport.
Thank goodness, T isn’t 🙂
I was so crap at sports day that I faked a sprained ankle every single year. I have no idea how I ever got away with it though.

That is so funny! I was really crap too. I should’ve been more creative like you and also faked a sprained ankle!
Well done little t! I have always been rubbish at sports, I’m hoping Lucas will take after his daddy x

Hopefully he will. T takes after her dad too 🙂
Amazing well done T. My eldest had sports day at her preschool last year and didn’t let go of the teachers hand the whole time. I hope she is a bit braver this year X

I’m sure she’ll be braver this year! Last year, T just skipped through the races 😉
I was good at volleyball and athletics. Not practised in years though.
I wasn’t good at any sport 🙁
I always enjoyed watching Mr. T participate in field day! Such fun!

Both my girl’s have their sports days next month and I can’t wait to go love cheering them on then seeing their little faces

It’s fun and exciting to watch, isn’t it? A chance to also catch up with other parents whom you don’t normally see at the school gates 🙂 x
I was only ever good at high jump and middling at sprinting. I still hate running!

On hindsight, I think I was not bad at sprinting, never won anything though 😉
Good job T, it looks like you had a fab sports day! T looks so focussed in the egg and spoon race, it’s great that she was taking it seriously. It’s great she’s so enthusiastic about taking part, and well done to her school team for winning after so many years! Thanks for linking up with me on #CountryKids.

To be fair all the kids were excited and enthusiastic about joining in. Just shows what a fab school little T goes to 😉 x
Well done, T! I think, I am the drama queen in every sports days at school, really crap in every sports. 😉 xx
I wasn’t good either, but not entirely a drama queen 😉 xx
Aw! Well done little T’s team for winning and she was great at sports day look how far ahead she is!

She certainly won that bit of the race 🙂 x
Aww wonderful pictures! Really looking forward to my little girl’s first sports day!
And it will be a fun day for your little one too 🙂
I was always really good at running and I hated it, even if I tried to be rubbish I just wasn’t, thank god for puberty because now I am not even built to run ha x

You’ve certainly described the angst of puberty 😉 x
My 4yo is super competitive, good for her she is quite athletic but she really has a hard time when not winning something. She loves swimming! and one thing that I really admire of her is that she always tries her best.
Love the pics! it looks like yours had a great time 😀
Some of the kids in T’s class also cried when their team didn’t win. Thank goodness T was never like that. I’m sure your little one will learn it too 🙂
That’s super sweet and it’s nice to see that she’s making progress from the year before… hehe.
I was a proper tom boy in school and enjoyed sports day but wasn’t very good to be honest – average I’d say. I liked them either way 🙂

Same here. Was a tomboy too who liked to climb trees but was awful in sports 🙁
Beautiful photos – we’ve had our first proper sports day last year and we LOVED it! It’s coming around again soon and I can’t wait 🙂

Sports day are such fun, aren’t they? 🙂
Well done T! I was really sporty and am very interested to see whether Toby and Martha end up being so too xx
I won’t be surprised if they end up the same as you 🙂 xx
I was terribly crap at sports day!! I use to hate it and all my PE lessons to be honest! Hopefully bring a mum if two boys will mean they will fair better than me in the sports department!! Sounds like a great effort and congratulations on winning!! Xx

Same here. Didn’t really like sports much. But T seems to like it, which is great. I’m sure your two boys will end up liking sports too 🙂 xx
It looks like T had a wonderful time – and yeah her team won! I guess you must have been happy that you didn’t have to do some parent race with too tight jeans 🙂 Sports day is not until next month for my two and luckily there’s no race I’ll have to join in too.

Oh good heavens… I wouldn’t want to join, not only because of the tight jeans, but because I’m really slow! I’d probably end up embarrassing T 😉 x
May is so much better than July (like my kids sports day) as the weather seems so much warmer in May & June. Well done to your littlies!

I used to keep my old jeans hoping I’d be able to squeeze into them… But I’ve given up 😉 Look forward to seeing Sebastian’s sports day! x
We have sports day on wednesday but looking at the weather forecast I fear it is going to be cancelled

My little one hasn’t started school yet so no sports day. I hated them when I was young. Pics are great. Glad her team won, that’s fab x
Soon your little one will have sports day too… Exciting times 😉 x
I loved sports day as a child. Can’t wait for my daughters one.
Though I won’t be attempting to mum and dad run though
Thank goodness we don’t have a mum and dad run 😉
