Tunnel Vision

I mentioned briefly on Friday, that Drew's fascinated with anything he would describe as a "tunnel". Case in point - my legs during a workout last week. In addition, after stepping out of Olive Garden for Dave's birthday, there was an awning. Drew was so excited that he was in a "tunnel".

Last week, I was an awesome mom and brought him out of his afternoon funk with none other than a tunnel (ok so most of us would call it a fort, but work with me here).

Exhibit A - our first attempt at a tunnel.


Daddy saw just how excited Drew was, so we built a bigger and better model.

Exhibit B


OK so you don't see the above view of this awesome tunnel, but the expression on Drew's face, shows he LOVES it. He spent a good hour crawling back and forth, rolling balls and just hanging out in there. We had to force him to come out and eat dinner.

When he woke up the next morning he immediately asked for his "tunnel". Guess we have a new hit!

Morning Workout Helper

Apparently I let Drew watch too many blog videos, because earlier this week he pulled a stunt he saw a few months ago from my friend's blog. You can see her entertaining video showing her triplet boys helping her with her workout routine.

Mr. Copycat had to jump in on the action himself. I go through a series of workouts after I get home from my morning run. Drew started out by helping me do some crunches...

Drew's into anything that makes a "tunnel". Apparently climbing on my stomach and squeezing through my legs is as good as any tunnel.

This is followed by some push-up assistance...

Again, any open space or "tunnel" makes him quite the "helper". So my cool down routine took a bit longer, but it was nice to have a workout buddy.

I'll think twice about letting Drew see videos and photos in the future.... hehe
