This was the caption on the t-shirt that Triston bought at the tournament this weekend. Triston had his first wrestling match on Sunday and it was something else. I was so nervous for him that I was shaking, bitting my nails, and practically in tears. He had a by the first round so there was a lot of wait time. His first match in the 6 & under 40lb. class was against a 6 year-old with an 11-2 record. Needless, to say the match lastest about 20 seconds and Triston got pinned. He was clueless, just smiling along like nothing was wrong!! Then we had about an hour wait or so and he had his second match. He managed to make it to the second period and racked 4 points but wa pinned. I was really proud of him and if he just understood a little more, then he would do a lot better. At one point in the second match he had the boy on his back and just let him get up! Triston was really proud of his metal. I think that he was the happiest loser there! I don't mean that to be mean, but all the other kids were balling like babies when they got beat and Triston was just smiling and showing off his metal, all entries received a metal for participation. I hope that is one thing that Triston doesn't pick up, I think that the kids should be taught that they won't always win and to just do better next time. I realize that these are young kids but I don't think I could handle Triston crying all the time, because his record is already 0-2~ but he is having fun and that is all that matters (FOR NOW!! :-)
Triston started with a little warm up with the team and then he was ready for his first match. He was absolutely scared to death!
Triston did a much better job the second time around. Maybe by the time this year is out he will win one!
Triston shakes the coaches hands and leaves with his coach. Trenton cheers big brother on yelling, "get'm Triston!"
Triston stands happy with his medal! Triston is just happy to be able to participate!
"Look mom, I won!" I didn't have the heart to tell him that he did not!
This is the Triston we all know and love, smiling pretty!
