The race starts off as you would expect, most of the children were utterly confused while two crawlers lead the pack -- Gemma and Landon. 

But just as the competition was neck-and-neck, Landon decided he'd had enough racing for the day, and promptly turned over for an impromptu nap. 

Despite looking like she was about to break down into tears, Gemma prevailed as the fastest crawler under the age of two at the game.
