Dave and I are doing an intense workout series (P90X) that involves a lot of push-ups. Last night at dinner, Alex proposed that if he could do 100 push-ups, then he could have dessert. Dave said, "Sure. You can have dessert if you can do 100 push-ups, but I'm going to have to watch and count." Well, after dinner, he set out to do those push-ups. Dave and I were doubtful he would make it too far. Heck, I can't do very many myself. Well, Dave still didn't cut him very much slack, but Alex kept going. He was working so hard, but he made it! I couldn't believe it. He was just so determined. He was so cute because at 89, he fell to the ground, but he got right back up giving himself a little pep talk, "I'm almost there. I'm almost there." I was so proud of my little man. I gave him his choice for dessert, and I even made him an ice cream mixture a la Cold Stone. Of course, Rachel got dessert, too, because she had eaten her dinner!

I'm inspired! I will try to do 100 push ups. I let you know when I make 100...then I'll go to Cold Stone!
