A couple weeks ago Riley was given an assignment where he had to give examples of risk and consequences. The other kids in his 4th grade class talked about things like wars and presidents. Riley chose to talk about me. *proud smile.
Riley was reading my blog about training for the triathlon and asked his teacher if I could be considered a good example of risk and consequences. She said yes, and suddenly I was a living, breathing show and tell project!
Riley did a fantastic job picking out great questions to ask. He was so brave getting up in front of his class to interview me. As adults, I think we forget that when we are little, this isn't a common occurance. Riley did an incredible job.
I think we all have a lot to learn from these type of amazing kids. Riley reminded me to think outside the box, to be creative in everything i do, and to be brave when doing something different and new. I think we all should try to be a little more like the children in our lives.

oh, and if you want to watch the interview (it's about 5 minutes long)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HxAJHhQQ70
This was a great project and a great interview. I'm glad Riley was able to show that Risk and Consequences can be positive too. You are very lucky to have such great nephews. Congrats on the Triathlon too. That takes some amazing dedication and strength. Cheers, Amanda H
