A couple of weekends ago, E.B. surprised us by suddenly wanting to enter the Kids Fun Run at our local OctoberFest. He’s always been a pretty good runner, and I have begged him in the past to enter these fun runs, but he always turned me down. All it took was seeing the other children lining up to get started.

We *think* he came in second, but it was really just exactly what it said…a FUN run, so everyone got a participation medal. He was so proud.
