Run, Forest, Run!!

The bank decided to credit our account today, so the $11 famine is officially over...whew!

It became a joke of sorts.

One kid would ask to do something, or buy something, and another kid would say, "WE ONLY HAVE ELEVEN DOLLARS. DUH."

Maybe I should let them keep thinking that and they would stop asking for everything they see on T.V. Hmmm...

Unless it is a pair of running shoes for Daniel.

The boy is a runnin' fool, I tell you.

He got on the treadmill for the FIRST time and jogged 4 miles in an hour.

He has legs that do not touch the floorboard in the car (sitting in a booster, mind you, but STILL!). I tried to equate what that would be comparable to for an adult, but alas, my leg length comparison chart was nowhere to be found.

I imagine it would look something like Fred Flintstone trying to get his car going, though.

Either way, in my non-expert opinion, he is well on his way to marathon status. I am envious and excited all at the same time.

Maybe in 10 years (when he is 18) I will be prepared to run one with him!

I better go get started.

Glad they got it all worked out! Major bummer to have someone hack your account! It happens all the time I guess, but you'd think they'd try to hack someone who is loaded right? But I guess that is higher risk in their eyes. Anyway.....ELi is a runner too! It's attributed to his disorder though. He run in the same path over and over again in a day's time. I keep thinking one day he'll be VERY good at track and field!
