One Tough Four Year Old!

Meet Cody.  He's four years old, has A LOT of energy, and acts like his dad from time to time.  In regards to that last fact, that's sometimes good and sometimes bad because I'm his dad.  Anyway, he's got a little bit of a wild side.  If you couple this with the fact that he's incredibly competitive and not scared of a challenge, then you have the making for a little guy that doesn't have fear when it comes to a contest.  With that in mind, I shouldn't have been surprised when he said he wanted to fish in the annual Jesse James Festival Youth Fishing Tournament.  Yes, it was pouring rain last Sunday morning in the Kansas City area but there were still trophies to compete for a free goodie bags to claim.  While he didn't win a trophy (he vows that he will next year), I saw a pretty amazing side of my son last Sunday.  A side that showed his resiliency, toughness, and inherent drive.  He can be a handful sometimes, but he's also pretty amazing too!
