It’s been a while since Jenny or I updated the front page with a story. What can I say, it’s been a busy spring!

Grandma Patti came to visit last week and signed up Elise for a toddler 100m race. It was Elise’s first time doing anything like that, but she was really excited to try it. So we prepped her as well as we could, told her what would happen, and tried to anticipate any fears she would have. I brought her up to the starting line and told her to run as fast as she could down the street to where Mommy was standing. As soon as the race started, though, she froze and started crying a little. I picked her up and held her as Grandma Patti came running down to meet us. She asked Elise to run with her down the street, so together they finished the race. Elise was very proud of herself and can’t wait to try it again…who knows, maybe she’ll end up like this some day. 🙂
