Cool Runnings

Given K-bao's active nature and boundless energy, the K-folks have trouble developing enough activities to keep the little imp occupied. Recently K-Pop took to running her up and down the halls to expend a few joules and get her ready to nap (not particularly creative, we know, but what is one to do in a little South Beach apartment).

K-bao must have have a pretty low threshold for endorphin-induced runner's high, as on day one she probably did half a kilo going back and forth in the halls. She enjoyed it so much K-Pop had to switch floors a couple of times lest the neighbors start to complain of the incessant pitter-patter of little feet.

Unfortunately, the exercise involves K-Pop running down the hall first and then hiding, with K-bao waiting until K-Pop is out of sight before sprinting after him. In other words, some serious labor involved for pops. Luckily K-Pop's legs are a little longer and he generally has a much needed half minute to catch his breath before the little one catches him and demands "More!"

These days K-Pop has only to whisper "pao-pao" ("run, run" in Chinese) for K-bao to head straight to the closet to ask for her neon pink Stride Rite running shoes. We may have a little Wang Junxia in the making. Below are a few action shots.
