Tonight at dinner, Tyler told me he wanted big bumps on his arms just like the guys on TV. He was telling me how he wants big muscles on his arms and his stomach! I was laughing so hard...where in the world did he see big muscles?! So as I am writing this, I turned to Andrew and asked where Tyler got this idea (because he also mentioned something about gloves and boxing). Andrew just burst out laughing - evidently, when they were watching the basketball game, there was a commercial for cage fighting and Tyler decided that he wanted to be strong like these guys. Ty told me that he didn't really want to box, he just wants the muscles and the belt!
So as I was cleaning the dishes, he went and got my green resistance band and started doing lateral raises - nothing could have been more comical than to see a 5 year old trying to hold the band down with bare feet and then strain against the band to get it into the air as high as he could go. He then put it over the back of a chair and started to do chest presses, while the chair fell over!
Next step was to give him cans and work on biceps. After a few curls, he asked me if his biceps were bigger yet?! He is going to a swim party tomorrow at his "girlfriend's" house and he wants to be strong for her! So, at five, we begin the journey of impressing girls and trying to be strong/cool! Wow, it is going to be a long road!
