Last Friday was the mini-olympics for the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. Each classroom represented a "country". Oldest's class was China and Middle Dude's was Austria. Each class made a flag and cheered for their classmates. The kids had to qualify for the mini-olympics by being the top in their class in several competitions: sit ups, push ups, stair-stepping, rope climb (they had to climb up and down as many times as they could), the shuttle run and the bar hang.
Middle dude qualified by being the best in his class in the push ups. He said he wasn't necessarily the 'best' in his class, but other kids qualified in two events and other kids didn't want to do it, so he qualified by doing 12 push ups.
He got to sit up in the front of the school with his class and then when it was push-up time, he had to do as many push-ups as he could. He did a personal best of 22 push-ups. He got a medal for participation.
Oldest did a good job of sitting with his class (even knowing I was there). So, it was all good!
