I think we may have contributed our DNA to a potential candidate for the 2028 games!
Cole has the energy of ten babies rolled into his tiny body. He is tall, strong and skinny. He is commonly mistaken for a baby much older than his age simply because he acts that way.
Cole "trains" like a world class athlete, he chows at every meal then burns off each and every calorie in his quest to explore the world and everything in it by being in perpetual motion ALL DAY LONG. He takes a good snooze after breakfast and then it literally is OFF TO THE RACES. After a particularly stimulating midday workout, a catnap can occur but it is the rare nature of this event that keeps this mom assuming and planning for the alternative.
He is a sight to behold as he begins his day with a spirited gymnastics routine in our bed at 5am. We frequently have the thought "will we ever NOT see 5:00 a.m. on a clock again"?
We laugh as he flies around the house on his bionic knees in a manic rush for some destination (normally somewhere or something dangerous). We realize we should relish in the fact that he has yet to walk but fear that he will just skip that inconvenient and tedious skill and advance to running at full tilt instead.
Cole has the stamina and determination at this young age that I never thought a wee one could possess. If it is at all an indication of his future, then all things are possible.
It will be interesting to see if his endurance continues and he becomes a marathoner through his toddler years. I guess I should eat my Wheaties, put on my running shoes and be prepared for anything!
