A few weeks before school ended the kids were with their friend Eli, one of them said something about on the last day of school they will be so excited that school is over that they will Run all the way home. I told them that I would LOVE to see that. So the challenge emerged!!! I told them that if they RAN all the way home from school without stopping then I would pay them $10 bucks each!! We only live 1/2 a mile from the school so I knew that this was totally do-able. I just wasn't sure if they would really do it. The kids talked about it for a few weeks leading up to it and on the last day of school they were very excited. I met them just outside of school and followed them home in my car as they ran home. (I was 2 weeks post baby so I knew that I could not keep up with them with my stroller and 3 little girls.) I was very impressed by each of them. They all did a great job! Claudia and I cheered them on from the car as we followed them home. I think there were times when they wanted to stop but they kept going and did not give up!
Maybe we will make this a new tradition.
