Today, our church had a little Fall Fest. There was a subdued extravaganza of authentic Mexican Food, a bounce house, a kiddie train, a jail, basketball, a gift walk, and a cake walk. Just your basic church Fellowship with Flu Shots on the side. :) Anyway, Grady and Tanner were pumped about the cake walk. PUMPED. Tanner won a lovely chocolate number with sprinkles right off the bat. However, Grady lost again. and again. and again. And there were tears. and more tears. and more tears. I tried to explain that it was a GAMBLE, that not EVERYONE could win every time, but I guess gambling is lost on the 3 year old types. He finally gave up, saying that the Cake Walk was just "too hard." Poor guy, first the other soccer team doesn't share the ball, and now losing at walking for cake. Life. It can suck for sure, but so far he's got the best smile goin' for him.
