Support Team

I just love this picture of Stuart and the boys at Dog Days Triathlon, in which he won his age group. Daniel had me make him the "GO DAD" shirt just before we left. Sometimes we have to bribe them to come out to our races because they are "boring." Joshua was watching a skateboarding competition the other day and I pointed out to him that one kid's whole family had come out to watch, including his 4 brothers and sisters. Joshua commented, "yes, but skateboarding is fun, triathlons and running are boring." So it's just a matter of picking the right sport, folks.

By the way, Joshua started gymnastics tonight and is already at the top of the class. Kid has some serious skills. He is training to be an American Ninja Warrior. Most of the guys on the team started out at gymnasts, so he is hoping to follow by taking that route. Then he wants to try parkour but the only parkour gym near us is in Alexandria. I can't believe I'm actually thinking about taking him there...

Anyway, when he's an American Ninja Warrior I will of course come and watch him but I may have to whine a bit about how boring it is watching him fly through the air...
