Bicycle Boy

You may be aware that Honey Daddy and I are cyclists. We both enjoy riding and it is definitely good exercise. I have a GPS for my bike, which I LOVE. It tells me everything! I love knowing how long and how far I've gone, what my average speed was, and how many calories I've burned.

Often when one of us gets back from riding, Honey Daddy and I will discuss how our ride went. Apparently our son has been paying attention to our little exchanges more than I had imagined!

Yesterday afternoon Jonah and I were out in the front yard. He was riding his tricycle down the sidewalk to the neighbor's driveway and back, while I watched him and folded some laundry.


After a minute Jonah pedaled up to me and we had a little chat.

Jonah: Mommy, I won the race!
Me: Great job!
Jonah: Did you see the other bicycle riders? They were trying to pass me, but I went around them and I won!
Me: You were pretty fast.
Jonah: Phew! It was hot out there today!
Me: It was?
Jonah: Yep. I burned 75 calories.
Me: Wow, that's a lot

How hilarious is that?!
Do you think he will grow up to be a cyclist too?

This weekend Honey Daddy and I are doing our last century ride of the year (that's 100 miles!). It will be my third one this year, just before my birthday on Sunday! I hope the ride goes well (and my birthday too!).
