Saturday the kids and I participated in the Face the Race 5k. I was expecting it to be very cold and highly anticipated watching a DVD in the truck with Doodlebug while the girls ran (yay - doing the cabbage patch!), but my laziness what shot in the ass when the sun came out.
OH MAN! I didn’t bring Doodlebug’s stroller because I just KNEW it was going to be too cold for him outside…crap!
We (Doodlebug and I) made it through the first lap of 1.6 miles and he was tired! He ran and ran and then walked then started kicking the ground and complaining he was tired and then he would run some more. You can really learn a lot from a 3-year-old just by watching how they actually LIVE in the moment. There wasn’t a piece of paper, pile of dirt, crushed and flattened snake, and every other kind of misc yuck on the ground that we didn’t miss looking at, touching or playing with the entire 1.6 miles.
Time? Who cared about time - there were too many things to see! When we got close to the finish line he started running the whole way and received a medal!
 |
| SEEEEEEEEEE! |
I have a video of him at the starting line. When everyone took off he started running and yelling at me to “run, run, run!” Yes – he is my next drill sergeant in the making…LOVED IT! One of these days I’ll figure out how to get it off my phone on onto this blog for everyone to see!

Last night Doodlebug helped me rinse dishes – I know! – I know! This is usually Mr. Strong’s department, but something extremely rank and putrid smelling was coming from the sink and I couldn’t take it anymore. Come to find out that it was a sippy-cup half full of soured soy milk – ewwww – gag!
I didn't even care that my kitchen floor was half flooded from his rinsing abilities, or that he was playing in the water more than he was rinsing the dishes because he went and got his chair and basically TOLD me that he was helping me - I didn't have to ask.
***sigh***I remember when the girls
were that way!
