Gymnastics??
I watch Katie doing gymnastics and I wonder how it is possible. I NEVER in my life accomplished a cartwheel- neither did Jeff. You do the math. She just learned how to do a round off tonight and she is working on a one handed cartwheel. Wow. I watch and am absolutely amazed at her ability. The last time I remember doing (attempting would be a better word) gymnastics was in high school. Two of my friends were my "spotters". You know, the people that were supposed to save you from yourself? I wanted SO badly to accomplish a handstand and their job was to catch my legs in the air. Simple, right? Well, they decided that moment was a perfect time to chat instead. I took a deep breath and up my legs went. Then, down my legs went. In fact, I went completely over and landed on my back. BAM! I heard someone scream, "She broke her neck!" Thank goodness I just had the wind knocked out of me. Nope, Katie did not get her gymnastics gift from me.
I can so relate to that! I remember watching in amazement as my daughter actually DID things, gracefully, in gymnastics!!
