cool kid
Posted on | September 24, 2008 | 3 Comments
Tonight we went on a run. As a family. All three of us. Granted, my current version of running is more of a run-walk-galumpf than a real run…
Still, Bean was thrilled. He put on sports socks and sneakers and kept up a good pace for almost a half mile before he needed a rest in the running stroller. DH went on ahead of us for a while, but I was content to slow-jog with Bean as he spent the next mile and a half periodically resting and clambering out to run along side me.
Once while he was sitting in the stroller slurping water he said, “Mommy, did you know that tummies make water into blood for our bodies?”
“Really?” I asked. “Who told you that?”
“No one,” he said confidently. “I just figured it out.”
Pretty cool thinking for being three, huh? And so fun to run with him. So fun.

Glad you’re still out there galumpfing.
We live near a fitness trail, and every time we pass a little sign post that marks 2K until the end, my son says “They will run two kilomemmers” and takes off running down the path. It kills me every time.

That little guy is perhaps the cutest kid that I’ve never met.
