New Olympic events

Isaac has been busy inventing.  Current additions:

Mommy-Baby Sweep Race.  Sweep your kitchen floor while keeping broom, dustpan, and dirt away from fast crawling baby.  This is a timed event, but also has style points.

Free Style Nursing.  Pure style points.  I think we may be a major contender in this one - twisting turning, sitting up, attempting to jump and and look over mommy's shoulder with boob-in-mouth, and most recently, standing bent practically in half to reach (had to call it on that one).  The only question is whether mommy can hold up.   

Anyone have others to add?

I'd like to sign E up for Diaper Change Slalom - this is a timed event with style points as well.  The goal is to do anything possible to prolong nakedness while dodging the placements of a fresh diaper.  Rolling, death screams, sticking feet in poo, putting feet in mouth, and distracting cuteness are all recommended techniques to put you on the winner's stand.

Hudson would definitely be a contender in this competition!! He has gotten CRAZY during diaper changes .. he's generally doing one of these: rolling, kicking, flipping, crawling away, screaming, crying, eating his feet, reaching for the wall, shelf, etc...

Oooh, excellent addition!  My little guy's shaping up to be a triathlete.  Question - does projectile poo while squirming away on all fours over the pale blue-green rug count for style points, or is that a separate event, a la long jump?

I think there is a separate projectile competition, with poo / spitup combined events. 

K is optimistic about her medal chances in the Distance Toy Throw.  There are style points for types of throw, and extra bonuses for weight of toy and how many cats it scares.  I think there is some type of extra award for hitting a mom or dad from across the room too.

I also am entering her into the Bottle Dump.  This competition is all about how much of your bottle you can get dumped by flipping it over, jamming the nipple into your high chair tray and chewing on the bottom of the bottle before your parents realize what you're doing.

High Chair Basketball would have a gold medalist here. The objective of the game is to toss things off the side of the high chair and into the dog's water bowl. Higher points are rewarded for the smaller the object that lands in it. Sippy cup - 1 point, Pea - 3 points. Double points rewarded if you can still make the toss with the bowl moved further away.

We will be entering Toddler Discus Throw - where we stand and spin in circles - except we forget to hold or throw a discus, or stop spinning for that matter...until we fall in a dizzy heap. And repeat.

I am adding Sleep Avoidance to the list. Although, Jill might take the gold with Ben's creative ways to stall bedtime, Ella's developed quite the arsenal to keep herself awake. Points are awarded based on how late they make it to (last night was freaking 2 am!!!), how many ways they can bother mom and dad in the process, and how many times they get out of bed.

This is going to be a quality event!
