Boys are full of energy. Am I right?
It seems that one of my most important jobs as a mother of boys is to be on the constant search for ways to wear them out. Sometimes this requires lots of creativity, but other times you're blessed with something that just falls into your lap and works perfectly to tire out your wild children.
And this weekend a free Saturday morning 1-mile race, including medals for all participants, was the perfect energy-expending activity for my little boys.
Before the race even begun the boys warmed up with friends and probably ran over a mile before we even walked to the starting line.
Both boys did great. Sam ran with Eric the entire time. He was determined to win and actually ran the mile in 8 minutes 35 seconds. I think that's pretty great for an almost 5 year old. He was totally exhausted, too.
Max moved his little legs as fast as he could and made it almost half way before jumping in the stroller and telling me to push him 'faster and faster!'
What a fun morning with friends.
And the medals...well, there couldn't have been a better reward for Sam and Max.
