 That's a great workout. šŸ¤™

I carried my 3 year old on my shoulders while speed walking for 2km up a hill. He's a hefty unit at almost 20kg. It took me about 3 days to recover!

 You carried him for a workout? šŸ¤Æ

 No. We were out for a hike, and after about 5km he ran out of energy. We got left behind by the family, so I had to rush to catch them up.
An unintentional workout!

 Ah yes the classic no more energy so you end up running out later šŸ˜‚šŸ«‚

 You know kids. No energy for walking. But when we got home he was zooming around like a lunatic. šŸ™„

It was too early to offer an early bedtime, as that's usually a great motivator.

 It can be very useful.
