Today was the Springville baby contest. We were on and off about participating. Max and I took a fall on Sunday (road rash) but he healed quickly. His face was back to beautiful by Friday so we decided to go. Springville rules state babies must be in plain white onezies or a white t-shirt -NO COSTUMES. At first we thought that was a bad rule - but really it leveled the playing field.
Max's age group was 8-10 months. About 25 other boy babies were in our group. I'm not sure what they judged us on but they had to re-do the process. Most babies were restless after the first go around. When they announced the re-do I was sure the babies with spiky moosed hair crawling around the floor flashing smiles had won us out. I figured the winner would be a judges neighbor, friend or widely known in Springville (a name carries a lot here). We knew that in advance so we were solely participating to support the community.
The host stared announcing by third place. He said "Max Stevens". I was shocked! I know he is cute, but I so was everyother baby there. I am now a huge fan of the white onezie rule. It was a great experience and now he gets to ride in the parade with Curtis next Saturday.
As the Third place winner he received a bronze metal, his photo in the Springville Herald and a ride on the flote next Saturday. As a participant he also gets a picture, a new t-shirt, 1 diaper, some tootsie rolls and a ribbon. No one was really handing out the participants gifts so I went around asking for them.
