Today I bought Parker a stop watch. I figured she would enjoy timing herself and her friends and it would reinforce double digit numbers and greater than, less than, etc. Tonight we needed to burn off a little energy, so we timed her running laps around the house. She LOVED it, we had to make her stop for bathtime or she'd still be going.
For added resistance and silliness, she did most of the laps carrying a stuffed puppy and a pool noodle.
"Ready, Steady, Go!!"
Home stretch
(stand by...I think my sister/nephew have a similar story of doing laps around the house....but theirs involves being chased by a rooster. Or maybe I'm mixing up 2 stories)

yep.....
Back in Overton, when company was visiting, when the conversation slowed, I would liven things up by asking,"Y'all want to watch John run the rooster?" Nobody ever said "No."
So John would go find the rooster, throw a rock or something at him, and take off running. We'd stand on the porch cheering him on. If I remember correctly, he could make two complete runs around the house before he'd have to jump on the porch. We never thought to get a stopwatch, but I'm sure that early training helped him run hurdles in the Texas State Track Meet. Keep Parker running!!
that's what rednecks do when the bug zapper breaks
birthday pictures please!!
