ATHLETE IN THE MAKING
A few weeks ago athlete Kellie forwarded me an email from her other sister Heather, whose two-year old son ran his second road race. Check it out:
On Saturday Dec 1st I entered Kavan in his second road race....The Reindeer Run. His first race...the zoo run, which was in September was not such a big hit and I carried him most of the 1/4 mile. But the morning was beautiful. Santa was there and gave him a candy cane and he said "he wanted to win the race."
We lined up at the start line and they said go and Kavan took off. He ran the whole half mile race! Which for a 2 year old is pretty impressive. Half way through the race he looked behind him and screeched "mommy there are people behind me!" Yes, unlike last time he was in the middle of the pack. He enjoyed running besides a dog and even beat some kids that were 7 and 8. As we crossed the finish he said "I want to do that again." He got his gatorade and banana and fell asleep in the stroller.
Later that afternoon I put him down for his nap with his favorite bear and I stood outside his door for a couple of minutes and I heard him say, "Bear Bear (that's his bear) I got a number, and Santa gave me candy, and there was a reindeer, and the gun went off, and I ran the race and I won." Then he fell asleep and I imagine he dreamed of the race he won!
How cute is that? I think I see a sequel in the works -- ATHLETE 2 1/2: Sweat. Tears. Heart. Diapers. I'll get started on the poster.
Thanks Kel, Heather and Jeramie for the email and pics.
