The short clip begins with several adorable babies eagerly beginning their journey to the finish line. However, in a humorous twist, some of the little participants decide to take breaks along the way, much to the amusement of viewers.

The video particularly shows a baby who decided to take a nap in the middle of the competition instead of crawling to victory.

As the race progresses, parents can be seen at the finish line, energetically waving to their babies and encouraging them to keep running.

“Do we have a winner yet? I'll check when I wake up,” reads the caption of the post, adding even more charm to the moment.

A second clip, also shared by the same user, offered a different angle on the competition, in which the four babies seem perfectly content to stay at the starting line while their parents enthusiastically cheer them on from the other end.

This scene made some parents laugh so hard that they cried.

The excitement reaches its peak when the sleeping baby suddenly wakes up, causing great anticipation among the audience. In another move, however, the baby briefly assumes a crawling position before sitting back down and amusing the crowd with a classic “pump fake” attitude.

Given the babies' leisurely pace, social media users suggested renaming the event the “sleep contest.”
