A moment to remember and randomness

We took spencer to our Kaiser appointments on Tuesday. He did pretty well during my visit sitting in the waiting room with Trekki. During Trekki's visit I went outside and got a coffee for me, a cookie for kiddo and we enjoyed the fresh air. I let him run sprints when no one was walking near his set sprinting path. During one of his cookie breaks

Great anecdote. :)

Exercise is always the best when it's fun. I dread the elliptical and every minute feels twice as long as a minute spent walking or hiking.

I love that interaction with Spencer -- what a great mommy! I was reading an article about how not addressing differences between people (race, health, etc.) emphasizes these differences in kids' minds rather than downplaying them so Spencer is going to better adjusted than a number of his peers.

I am terrible about exercising because it always feels like a chore. I go to yoga only because I'm in a class with my mom so am virtually dragged there each time :P I also sometimes go hiking because it's outside but I could never find the strength of will to go to a gym. So I wish you much luck and fortitude because I know it's a chore.

You handled that situation brilliantly, with tact and kindness. Good job!
