Flippin fun

As we try to move on this busy filled summer all while trying to escape the heat of the city...grr, I guess I never really minded the heat until I had children and am stuck doing indoor things for most of our days...we have been sidelined for a few days.

While this mom has strep for the second time in 4 weeks, really, I think I got the full effect last time... a grumpy little girl is trying to fight a cold and working on some teeth...so while we are are then mend a feeling a great deal better, we have a little gymnast as our entertainment...

We were watching the U.S. Olympic trials the other night, and Griff was mesmerized by what he was seeing, immediately he began to do somersaults and flip around the living room...then he saw they had tape around their wrist, so yes, he had to have tape as well...(warning...please excuse the mess in the background as I have given up on picking anything up until I have two sleeping kids)





Then he continue to watch and saw that the girls were putting chalk on their hands before they did an event...so even though he said he needed it, we decided to skip that part and work on pretending...he did a good job at that...

Then the best part was he would stand up with his hand in the air then he would come over and give one of us a hug just like the girls hugged their coaches after a routine...this has become part of our daily play!
