3-1-1

Sonya participated in a chess tournament today and finished with 3 wins, 1 draw (tie), and 1 loss. This is an improvement from her 2-2-1 record last year. Lisa went this year instead of me, and I took Dylan to his first tee ball practice. That went great too, but I missed seeing Sonya's smile when she won. I told Lisa when I played in tournaments my persona goal was 4 wins; 3 and a half is really good and in the contention for trophies. Sonya did not get a trophy today, her loss was in her first match and the way chess tournaments work that put her against weaker players than others who ended with the same record. To be in contention is terrific, and something I am very proud of her for today. Lisa told me she had a hard time prying Sonya from the playground to leave after the end, which again tells me that Sonya really enjoyed herself today at the chess tournament.
