Oh to be so limber






I know kids are all young and spry and flexible and stuff, but Ellie is ridiculous.  She is like a 7 year old gumby.  One morning this week, she was up earlier than usual and decided to join me for a morning workout.  We were doing sit-ups, planks, push-ups, dips, squats, lunges, and other exercises together.  Then we went for the leg lifts (great for those ol' adductors) and as I could barely get my leg high enough for a 25 degree angle, she smacked herself in the face...literaly.  This whole gymnastics thing is awesome for her.  I hope she is able to carry some of this through with her in life.


Then in the afternoon we were in Branson's room and she decided to go all contortionist on me and stuff herself into a laundry basket.  I looked over and there was her head sticking out of a laundry basket with her body all squashed in there - I laughed out loud and had to take a picture.  Kids.

  1. I used to do that with my brother! He would put me into a sports bag and carry me around. Now I think about it...that's kind of scary!
