Talking Proud Dad!

How proud am I? <b>VERY!!!!</b>

My 2 sons both won the district High Jump in their age groups at our district sport (very big district).

My 12 y.o. (intellectually disabled) received a 'Special Achievment Award' at the event and an 'Achievment Award' from a Ballarat business today because he equalled the district record held by a much older kid for many years!! About 800 people cheered him on as he attempted the record.

My 2 boys are so proud of themselves. So am I.

Tell us of any achievments you would like to share. Be aware of internet protocol though (kids names, school names etc).

My boys! Yaaahoooooo!!!!

I can relate to how you feel Ken, your smile will stay for some time yet.
I work in this field and get so much out of it when kids and adults come out winners.
Good on ya kids, keep on winning..

Great one Ken. I once tried high jumping at school but found that I am gravitationally challenged (read too heavy). Reckon I would be fantastic at underwater canoeing though.
