Maddie's Pedometer

You may remember that I am participating in a walking program at school in which you measure the number of steps you take each day. The goal is 10,000 steps a day for a healthy life style. Well I gave Maddie a purple pedometer of her own, and she was eager to take up the challenge. By the end of the day she had walked 26693 steps! This is a good indicator of the pace of a 5 year old. I I told her I will never be able to match her record which pleased her immensely. She told me this was her best Christmas present. Go figure.

Very cute. Merry Christmas

Wow! That's more steps than I realized! Great picture!

[Margaret Tryon]

Oh this is great. What a sweetheart.

[Rick Schies]

Wow, to have that amount of energy. Wouldn't it be nice?

[Raymond Brettschneider]

Ha, what a nice story. Good for her for being so active, very healthy. And good of you to participate in that program as well. It can still be quite a challenge to get 10.000 steps a day.
Merry Christmas!

She looks very proud of her pedometer! I did one of those challenges for a while - mostly managed to get enough steps in, but I've been quite lazy since it finished...

my friend who just heard the description of this and is a big ped fan says - bouncing and/or dancing really racks up the steps; only fair we agreed. what a cute shot!

how cute :)

How cute- I'm sure my 5 year old granddaughter Leigh could match her step for step! They'd probably get along like two peas in a pod!! Very cute shot!

@olivetreeann Wouldn't it be fun to get them together! And we could have a meet-up too!

Maddie is beautiful!

Love that you got her a pedometer, too! She has grown so much, Allison ...and what a beautiful little young lady she is becoming!

How good it this! A pedometer! Maybe it's the challenge of how many steps she can do in a day :)
I need to get mine out again. Great idea!

( Maybe all children should be issued with one on starting school) :)

[Carole Imes]

She reminds me a bit of my 5 yr old granddaughter Hope. So cute!!!!
