Warriors

I was a desperate mom yesterday. Both my kiddos were bouncing off the walls and had a hard time sleeping last night. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so today we started Navy Seal training. Not just Navy Seal training, but more specifically 'hell week' of Navy Seal training.

It started this morning when I woke James up from his slumber. How could he possibly think I was going to allow him to sleep in after he stayed up until 10pm last night? At least I didn't splash cold water on him when I did wake him up like they do during real Navy Seal training.

The first day of 'hell week' went something like this:

• Bike ride to the park
• .5 mile racing run
• Soccer
• Playground play
• Library visit
• Hour long P90X workout video (James dropped out at this point and napped)
• Mat room obstacle courses at the YMCA
• Swimming

There were some tears from this guy

but it was mostly squills of delight. Both kiddos licked their dinner plates clean. Then it was scriptures, prayers, brushed teeth and off to bed where they both insisted on reading a little before dozing off. Can you believe they both read books in bed for about 15 minutes before falling asleep?!?!? Tomorrow needs to be more challenging.

A more challenging day may kill the Navy Seal trainer. I'm afraid this training is going to come back to bite me. I'm creating bionic boys. If only they were old enough to build walls out of boulders.
