The baby race is off. Not cancelled, exactly, and we're not avoiding it because PC can't crawl yet (that was never an obstacle for us). It's off because it's full!
Apparently, my procrastination about calling and registering cost us. Not wanting to let down, and unable to accept a baby race without PC after having by now told EVERYONE about it, I pressed the ticket counter employee a little bit, until eventually she told me there were 19 babies signed up and that Ukrop's wanted all the information no later than yesterday. You have to register b/c the grocery store with the big prize wants your info so they can spam you with coupons I suppose.
After a little more back-and-forth that involved me trying to work PC in as a "sub" (babies will get sick, I argued) I gave up. Not an argument I was going to win. When she finally said "I'm sorry, but I've been asked not to accept any more entries" the game was up. I'm going to insist this year's baby race winner*, whenever noted in print, have an asterisk by their name.
*did not compete against Achter baby

You could hold your own little field day event to make up for this travesty.
what would the events be?
no need to race. put him in a "most adorable pouty face" contest and he'd win hands down, late registration and all...
Ride the Buford, Ring Toss on the Buford tail, baby obstacle course, stage 1 food eating contest, first to fall asleep in the car...something like that.
