Alex "Sonic" Lilly, Future Olympian

Alex has been obsessed with two things lately, Sonic the Hedgehog and pretending he's a track star. Apparently, Sonic is incredibly fast, and one day recently he saw some races on t.v. for the Olympic trials and it apparently made quite an impression. Those two things combined have prompted him to run all over the place as fast as he can. He says he's going to be in the Olympics one day. Not to brag, but he is pretty fast! He also likes to go to the high school track and run. One day Steph took him with her, she got him all outfitted before they left, he does look quite serious in these pictures. (I'm not sure what the glove is all about, I'm guessing Sonic probably wears gloves...)

This is his stance that he can often be seen in. He likes to pretend he's putting his feet against the starting blocks as he gets ready to start his race, just like the guys on t.v. do.
One day as we were leaving Target, a little boy was running down the sidewalk, so Alex takes off and starts running after him in a self-proclaimed race. Of course Alex won, although the other boy didn't realize he was even in a race.
If things pan out the way Alex plans, be watching for him in the 2028 Summer Olympics!
