Accountability

Landon plays flag football in a non-competitive league where they give 2 awards each week to the two team members that demonstrated the core value of the week (e.g. enthusiasm, good sportsmanship). However, each player will eventually get a medal. Even knowing this, I beamed with pride when they gave Landon the award for accountability this past weekend. Yes, they checked his name off of the roster for an award given. But man was he excited, and that warmed this mama's heart. He wore that award around his neck the past two days with so much pride.

After the game he said to me "I knew I was going to win that award!". When I asked how he knew, he replied, "I just thought it.".
