It was not the finely disciplined

of a professional sports team.
No.

That makes me tired just thinking about it!
and they dont stop until they become teens and then you cant get them to move...had the boys all day to myself...we ran until i could run no more...nice 55 monkey!
I know the feeling. I have a 2 year old daughter.
Really, if you could only harness that energy, wonder, and amazement, and open when needed later in life...
And they can run circles around us!
Excellent 55 MM
I love real life story's
Thanks for this family peek.
See ya Sunday, and have a Kick Ass Week-End....
Ahhh, I remember my little one running for the first few times. It does take a lot of energy.
xo
That sounds exhausting for the mother! I remember it all too well !
hahahahaha!!! that is soooo true! i always wished i could bottle that energy and use some of it for me.
My theory? Children have so much energy because the suck it out of their parents... :)
Nice 55, MM!!

When little ones begin to walk and/or run, it is such a precious moment in their lives to remember.

oh i love 2 year olds who discover running - and talking - and everything...i like your 55!
mine is up as well
I have a 2 year old and she is a blur of activity.
I'll take a 2-year-old monkey boy over a 3 year-old any day.
Tired, and out of ideas?
A cardboard refrigerator box is free...
I'm gone for a while, have a super 160!
run crazy..
like that
Sounds like you'd had that experience!
Nice one!
Oh don't I know. I'll be babysitting my 2 year old grandson all weekend. Pray for me.
A wonderful 55! Spot on! The energy captured inside the precise words you chose.

I enjoyed reading this...much better than trying to keep up with my daughter at two :) Well done 55!
Life without children is dead boring.
Fun 55 and mine is up too.
Too hysterical and I well remember what my sons were like at two!
Mine is at:

And don't they run! To hear or read my non-PC illustrated Friday 55 click here. Warning you may have to read the footnote after to make sense of it!
This was great, just like my 3 year old who's been running since 10 months and truly rarely walks anywhere! I love it, thanks.
Mine is here
I remember those days well! Super something, but perhaps not supernatural!
Is this you, Mr. Monkey?
this is true of a three year old and a four year old!! great 55
could imagine the tiny feet in motion :) good one !
I remember that being the most exhausting stage of mommyhood!
I love the picture - that is one happy face. Two year olds will wear you out.
Uh oh...once they're mobile...look out!
Geeze, don't you wish you could bottle that energy and refuel when you need it?
I can feel the kinetic energy flowing through. Love little kids and their firsts!
cute 55
love the vivid capture of essential sentiments ...
And, they don't even need Gatorade!
It's so hard to keep up with them. Love the pic too.
Oh, the energy of youth is enviable. Great 55!
Teresa
They are everywhere. Hard to keep up with them. Excellent 55 my friend. Have a great Saturday :)
The energy level of a 2 year old is WAAAAAAY more than that of an entire professional team put together... heheh
A Sweet 55, MM!!!
Heaven help a parent when the running begins...because I don't think it slows down for a very long time.
Nicely done!
Good one, MM. They could put the Energizer Bunny to shame.
Try again:
MONKEY MAN
One two-year-old tossing a vine to another two-year-old, as we discover the meaning of life for all the old folks! Good "55"...thanks!
I have my second 160 HERE
How did I miss this? I'm exhausted just reading, nothing quite like a 2-yr-old who has discovered running.
So exhaustingly true.
So exhaustingly true.
