Little boy's feet barely touch the ground as he races to see Grandma at the airport

When 2-year-old Liam saw his grandma arrive at Peoria International Airport in Illinois, he reacted like a cartoon road runner.

Liam and his grandma, Julie Bielfeldt, or "Gam Gam" as he calls her, only live a few hundred miles apart, but they hadn't seen each other for quite a while. So, as soon as Liam caught sight of her, the race was on!

As his father, Meyers Leonard, held him in the air, Liam's legs were whirling like the famous Looney Tunes character in the Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoon series. Liam couldn't wait to sprint into Gam Gam's open arms.

"Growing up, she always created magic [for Liam] with her imagination," said Liam's mom, Elle Leonard. "She brings so much playfulness to life that it’s no wonder my son adores her...If it were up to Liam, his Grandma would live right next door."
