As some of you know, I've written about The Amazing Race series before. But I feel
compelled to blog about it again!
Whether or not our picks turn out to be the champions this season, we will all be winners regardless. We will have spent quality family time together, creating memories and reinforcing values that we've already attempted to instill in our young ones. What's not to love?!

Now that summer is here and our children are staying up later, it's a bit
more challenging to find age appropriate TV shows that we and our 7 year old and
our 2 year old can watch together as a family. While I do enjoy a good Disney or
Pixar movie, there's only so much animation that I can handle before getting
blurry eyed and mumbly. Think Minion - but without the energy level! LOL
The Amazing Race is a show that my older child gets excited about! He loves
the challenges, the struggles and the personal achievements. And so do we! But
more than that, we love that he recognizes this in the show and hope that the
perseverance and tenacity is forever lodged in his cerebral cortex for moments
in the future. It also allows us the opportunity to open up dialogue on trying.
Even when we don't think we can do it. Not to mention how we can overcome our
psychological fear or apprehension about conquering a task.
We always watch the first episode of the season and choose our top 3 teams
immediately after they do their bios. Then, we watch the rest of the season
together and cheer on our teams as they compete episode after episode. It's a
show that allows us to all watch together, while cheering on our selected teams
and giving each other some good-natured ribbing. All the while, our toddler is
in on the action too, enjoying every minute of it, even if we aren't sure that
he understands why. :)
