Seattle Kiddie Marathon Update 4

This weekend we bought Sven a new pair of running shoes. I decided that the cheap pair that we bought at Fred Meyers might not give Sven the support he needs if he starts running longer distances. Yesterday he ran 2 miles (8 times around the track).

Total Miles to Date: 15.50

Seattle Kiddie Marathon Update 3

On Monday, Sven ran 7 times around the track. He is hoping for 8 by next week. We still don't know how long his school fundraiser lap is, so can only count his track run this week.

Total Miles to Date: 12

Allowance & What is the going rate for the Tooth Fairy?

We decided that Sven can manage some of his own purchases, so after much debate and asking around, we decided on $2.00/week. Immediately, he started saving for a black flashlight that he saw at the Olympic Sculpture Park. So far, its been a mixed experience. Sven values his own purchases much more. However, now, when we got to tourist attractions, we have to give him some time to shop. He is much more picky about what he wants to buy though, so when we went to Vancouver recently, he considered several items, but didn't buy any of them.

Our next challenge - what does the Tooth Fairy give out these days? Sven has a very loose tooth, that may be coming out any day!

Sven ran 6 times around the track yesterday. He was very excited and wanted to call FaFa right away.
