Toph just got to participate in his first-ever Pinewood Derby. This is when a cub scout gets to create a car that he races against the other cubs' cars. It's a gravity-powered race. And we're very proud that our boy did most of the work on his car BY HIMSELF. He wasn't doing the PWD to win awards and advance to compete against other boys--he was in it to have fun. And, even though he came in 3rd or 4th (out of 4) on most of the 44 heats, he still had fun. And he had a sense of accomplishment that HE did the work. He was so excited at the end when he got his first-ever trophy! We're really proud of our Toph. It was with great delight that I bought a shelf for his wall yesterday. He wanted a display shelf. You Rock, Topher!
