Cross Country Running

Molly's first week at school has been spent running for miles. Literally. They've been training for the school's cross country race, so they've been out every day running across fields, around playgrounds, up hills and down hills (although I suspect a lot of walking usually takes place on these bits).

Yesterday was the day of the race, so all the families came along to cheer them on. Alfie and I were standing on the sidelines, and Alfie was fully briefed to shout "Run Molly, Run!" as she came past.

However, when the moment came, Alfie instead shouted "I love you Molly!" and then he legged it across the field and chased after her before I could catch him, and continued all the way to the finish line with Molly! He was so proud of himself!!
