2008 Olympics

Many of you may not realize that mom is an Olympics junkie!!! Typically as soon as Nate is fed and off to bed, so am I. Ted jokes that I have been asleep before my head hits the pillow.....however, that has all changed since the Olympics began this year. I stay up way too late to watch whatever event happens to be on and I record what I miss so I can watch it during my early morning feedings. There is just something admirable about the usual sportsmanship and the way the world watches with baited breath in hopes that their country brings home another victory.

GO USA!

Luckily/sadly tonight is the last night of the Olympics. I will have to actually start cleaning house, sleeping regularly, and cooking real food again. Oh, how I will miss the Olympics.

One of the major controversies this year has been the age of the Chinese gymnasts....and that got me thinking....they should hold a BABY OLYMPICS.

Imagine with me, if you will......Nathaniel Oliver Yancy competes in the following events:

1) The Ring Grasp

2) Synchronized Toe Grasp & Swing

3) The 10 Meter Diaper Dash

4)The Pacifier Shot put

5) The All-Night Marathon

6) Spit Up Contest (although closely rivaled by his own cousin Craig)

7) The international laugh-a-thon

8) The Tub Triathalon

With these events, I really think he could rival Michael Phelp's historic run for the gold.

Granted the judge (being myself) probably has a slightly slanted bias and gives credit for cuteness more than natural athleticism....

Here's looking forward to London!
