As this was never actually published I can publish it now.
This is a post about a recent trip G and I took to OK. We left Thursday last week and arrived at the airport with plenty of time. After pulling the bag out of the car, G stated, "I do it" when I went to roll the bag so that we could get on the bus to take us to the airport. I thought he meant that he would help me, but no he meant that he would get it. Thankfully an extremely nice bus driver saw me struggling with him pulling the bag, so she picked us up not at an actual bus stop. Then during the ride he constantly said, "I ride it. School bus." Everyone commented on how big of a helper I had. After we checked the "purple one" G had to carry a bag, so he carried the lunch box. He never dropped it or left it somewhere and even through security refused to let me carry the lunch bag. I could carry him after, "up please mommy" directives, but not the lunch box.
Final edit: I ended up running the Route 66 Half Marathon at a time of 2 hours 15 minutes and 4 seconds. Considering I planned on 2 hours 15 minutes I'll say I did okay. It wasn't a PR but it was a good race. I also got to walk through the finisher chute and looked up when I heard everyone talking about Batman. (G had found a Batman hat that he insisted on wearing) He crawled over the fence from mom's shoulders to get to me and gave me a huge sweaty (on my part) hug.

Congrats on your race! Probably something I will never do but I do think its an awesome accomplishment! Ellie's favorite phrase right now is definitely "Ellie do it!" She never says "I" though, haha. Miss you guys!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm planning on doing more this year. Hopefully I can do two or three races, but we will have to see. We miss you guys too. Maybe we'll all make it to Chicago this year.
