The Explanation to Andrew's Energy

There are days where I just don't understand how such a little body can contain sooooo much energy.  The layout of our new place is relatively open with just a small wall between the kitchen and the rest of the living space.  Andrew quickly noticed that he can literally run in circles if he so desires - and so he does for hours at a time.

Come to think of it, it's pretty difficult to think of a time when he walked from point A to point B.  We have a good friend who pointed out that even when he wants to throw something in the garbage four feet away, he runs! It's not that he refuses to walk (he's very good at grabbing our hand and walking when we ask), he just naturally wants to run wherever he needs/wants to go.

And who can we blame for that?  Cristina:

Ok, I'm only kidding! "Blame" is definitely too harsh of a word.  But the energy that this woman has amazes me.  Not only does she run after Andrew all day, while simultaneously taking care of practically everything around the house, but she somehow managed to squeeze in training for her 7th marathon!  Her 7th! Congratulations to her for setting a personal record as well!

Even more amazing, these previous 2 photos were taken about 30 minutes after the 26.2 mile race... She doesn't even look winded! If it were me, I'd be in a wheelchair back at mile 5...
