Brookhaven Bolt

As most of you know, Wyatt LOVES to run!! Yesterday, he ran in his first fun run!! We were at the start point and when they blew the horn to begin, Wyatt began to cry. The horn and the 100 other children screaming was a little much. Nathan and I had plans to run the adult portion the race - three miles. When we told Wyatt we would just go do that, he cried harder. He was a two year old in turmoil. He wanted to jog with the children but was scared. Our solution?? Wyatt and I went around the front of the school and jumped in mid way where the children were running. He finished strong with a smile on his face.


I had told him Aunt She-sha was coming to see him and that she would be at the finish line. As SOON as he got to the line, he looked around and said, "where is my Aunt She-Sha??" Due to the roads being closed, she was unable to make it by the time Wyatt finished. She, however, showed up just a few minutes later! Thanks Alicia for coming to support little Wyatt.

Here is Alicia and Wyatt celebrating his run!!!



After the kids started their run, the adults started. Wyatt and I sat and waited for Daddy to arrive with Baby Lauren and we joined in. Wyatt was not ready to stop running so he ran a little longer. Go Forrest Go.


He sat with Lauren for the remainder of the run until the finish line!!! WE FINISHED!!!
