While watching the gymnastic competition on TV, Nathan got really wound up. He started jumping in furniture and flip flopping around the house claiming he was "flying".
In an effort to harness his energy, I started teaching him basic gymnastics. After his first successful summersault he was hooked. I don't know why it took me so long to try and teach him.
My husband was less than thrilled. He is too afraid he will snap his neck. So in an effort to keep the peace we have moved on to our next event - speed bike.
Have you been keeping up with the Olympics?

Oh, the Olympics are ON in this house. We have a "torch relay" every night around the kitchen island... But isn't that what the Olympics are all about? Inspiration and dreams?
Oh fun! Gymnastics was Pierce's favorite thing in gym this past year. He loves it!
What a fun fact! It's so cool that you're able to teach Nathan a few skills. Nia loves flipping and the Olympics have her super excited. It's cute to see the little ones catch the Olympic spirit!
I was done with the Olympics once MaryLou Retton left.

Good Luck with Nathan's gymnastic lessons!

Haha...that's awesome! Yes, we've been watching the Olympics every night. The gymnastics and track is my favorite :)
Fun! At least you probably taught him the correct way so shouldn't that be safer?
We have been enjoying the olympics - it's a fun thing to have on tv during vacation cause we can watch and stay conversational. So nice! I say run, jump, tumble...and ride on!!
that's soo cute...if i could be sprinting..i would be!
We've been watching most evenings and enjoying seeing some unexpected medals for a few Canadians!
He's so cute! I've missed way more of the Olympics than I wanted to. Makes me sad.
