A proud father

I am kind of slow at writing this, and for that I have regrets.  At first I thought that maybe my slow response would be seen as not caring, but that is not the case.  In fact, I have been so slow at writing this because there are so many thoughts in my head, and my thoughts that they wouldn’t sound good.  In the end, I left most of what I wrote out.  But I did start it on the day of the event… Sorry Cody.

Today I went with Cody to a state wide competition for computer game design.  The competition was called OGPC 2.0.  Or, Oregon Game Project Challenge.  And, cutting to the end, he took championship.  Or, in other words, his team won first place. 

I will back up a week, and mention that Cody asked if I wanted to take him.  Well, I actually cannot remember how I got volunteered into taking him.  I remember thinking that it was a seminar, and that I didn’t really want to go.  So, I went with my fool proof method of getting out of it.  How would a loving father get out of getting up at 5:00 in the morning and driving several hours to sit all day at a high school seminar and make it seem like he was still a loving father… Well, Cody likes his mom a whole lot more than me, so I asked him in front of his mom, “Cody, who would you rather take you, me or your mom”.  Well, I was completely surprised when he said me.  Like I said, it was a fool proof plan, and it failed.

Well, I sat in on a presentation of Cody’s team and there game to the judges of the competition.  His team mates all told the judges that Cody did way more work on the project then any of them.  In my opinion, that makes Cody the winner.  I am a proud father. 

My kids are smart, and Cody proved it. 

Congrats my boy, I am very proud of you.
