Boys, Girls and Race Cars





With the rest of the family racing NASCAR, Serene isn't about to be left out. At six months she is cruising in her walker at warp speed. By seven months, she can crawl. And, at not quite 8 months, she is can pull herself up and has all the mechanics to walk. It won't be long now until she is running around the house. For more on the differences between boys and girls, Dr. Anita Sethi says it far better than this mom....http://www.parenting.com/article/real-difference-between-boys-and-girls

Alex racing cars




Mommies aren't the only ones that can race cars. Alex's own pint-size NASCAR can reach up to 1 mph or so on the sidewalk. As a young NASCAR wannabe he has already taken over the family fleet of vehicles as each is equipped with carseat, snacks, and fruit juice boxes.

Racing Cars Instead of Driving Soccer Vans

At the Toyota Speedway in Irwindale anybody can race NASCAR -- even jetsetting moms who don't have enough adrenaline in their lives changing diapers and scheduling playdates. Strapping on a stock car for twenty laps around the country's shortest track takes less than 15 minutes at 100 mph (give or take) and is not for the weak at heart. A hour training session with the track all-time speed champion was enough to teach this mommy how to 'scrub the tires' and then 'go green' until the checker flagged was waved.

Now...ask me if you think I'll let my kids try it when they grow up?
