Good Sport

Olivia and Sammie like to have races--stroller races around the house, races to the car in the parking lot. Olivia always wins, but Sammie is a good sport about second place. Olivia will yell, "I won!" Then after Sammie gets there she just as cheerfully yells, "I lost!" She is completely accepting of coming in 2nd place. Sometimes Sammie will accidentally yell, "I won," after Olivia already won and Olivia will correct her, "No I won. You lost." Sammie just joyfully responds in an 'I knew that tone' , "Oh, I lost." Then they keep on racing.

My kids do the exact same thing except Lincoln doesn't take second as gracefully. And if Lincoln just happens to take 1st place we have a total meltdown on our hands.

Your girls are just adorable. lets stay in touch because we could have some really cute grandkids together!

my younger two make races on getting to the car first. If one get's there before the other then the other doesn't like it much. That is so sweet that Sammie just takes it and goes on.
