Well...we knew the day was coming. Ivy's been thinking about walking since the spring. Once she saw this big kid running and jumping around the house she knew she was all about it. Unfortunately for her, I think her focus was backwards as she seemed to focus heavily on trying to jump before she could actually walk. I think she's since realized a more balanced training program consisting of both power walking and her plyometric jumping would ultimately lead to more core strength and better results. I'm glad she's finally figured this out because the cost of PowerBars and Energy drinks was about to bankrupt us. We've already missed the deadline for the 2009 Chicago Marathon so she'll have to wait another year for her Boston Marathon qualifying time in the under 3 group...in the meantime...she'll work on more gracefully exiting the couch after she's climbed on top and not getting herself stuck on top of the play table.

Russ....you missed your calling....you should have gone into advertising. You would have made a great copywriter and/or art director. On the other hand it's never too late.
