Gymnastics

Madeleine has a new obsession: gymnastics.

She asks for it daily and nightly. She LOVES it.



I wasn't sure about getting her involved. I have to shamefully admit. I thought it would be trying too hard. It is also expensive- especially if you have twins.







We happened to find Seattle Gymnastics Academy and their 'indoor playground' and she is hooked. When we first came I told one of the 'teachers/gymnasts' about her prosthesis. I added that it didn't hold her back and we were hopeful that she would find her way to the paralympics. The gymnast/teacher corrected me by saying, "or the Olympics". You're hired!









For the record: Max thinks gymnastics is pretty great too.

My girls love gym too, and yes it is soooooo expensive. For the summer we are doing athletics it is only $60 for the three of them for the whole summer!! Bargain, and it is good for them too! Yay you have to love that.

That is so cool.

Go Maddie!

Today, a parent at Riley's preschool asked me how we taught him to do everything with a limb difference, because he's so capable and all.

I told her we didn't teach him anything.
He taught us.
