http://community.shape.com/_Setting-a-Good-Example-for-Kids/BLOG/2484669/103284.html [image] Just had to share: My 2-year-old daughter and I went shopping at Target (a fave of me and my kids) and we picked up a pair of "running" shorts and a tank top for her. She said: "Is this for my truffalon?" I asked her to repeat, she said (a bit louder) "Is it for my truffalon?!" And I realized that she was asking if it was for her TRIATHLON! :-) So cute! I got a good laugh out of that, but thought: having your 2-year-old know about triathlons isn't such a bad thing! It gets them into the mindset early on that they can do these things too! But I have to admit, the idea of a "truffalon" sounds interesting (eating chocolate truffles at frequent stops along the course of a race!!) I'm attaching a pi[image]c of my daughter in her "truffalon" outfit at last night's 5K in our hometown, which she "raced" in the jogging stroller with me and my husband (pic here of all 3 of us). (My son didn't join as he was at a friend's house.)   [image] Just had to share: My 2-year-old daughter and I went shopping at Target (a fave of me and my kids) and we picked up a pair of "running" shorts and a tank top for her.
