Running with Santa

Our 3-year-old, Stinkpot, is the most strong-willed, stubborn, hard-headed, determined little rascal that you can ever meet. He has now gotten kicked out of his SECOND, yes, second day care in a month!  We are beating our heads up against the wall trying to figure out what in the tar nation to do with our little Damien!

However, I am in awe of him!
I’m beaming with pride due to these very characteristics that are causing us so much heart burn.

A few weeks ago, I ran in a 5K Jingle Run (I finished 5th in my old lady division) and entered him in the kids’ 1K Run with Santa.

Here is our Stinkpot ready for the start of the race!
He was so focused on running the race, that he ran smack dab into the photographer!
But he picked himself right up and began running again.
For the entire 1K, he ran until he was tired, then after catching his breath, would begin running again.
He ran the race ALL BY HIMSELF! AT 3 YEARS OLD!
Here he raced Santa (and won)!
What an amazing finish!
This kid will be the death of me!
But wow! With that determination, isn’t he going to be a great attorney someday?

Today I linked up with 5 MINUTES FOR MOM! Add your Wordless Wednesday post below!
Have a very merry Christmas!
