Reality Check....
Try "Teaching" your Eleven Year Old to do a Cartwheel...
Try Teaching ANYONE to do a
Cartwheel when your body just says NO....
All I can say is... I tried....
My body and my brain did not cooperate.
NO.... I not ASK for these photos to be taken...However, when everyone around you is in
"Blog Mode". the camera just goes with the
territory...ALL territory.
For Certain...Katherine is not cheering for my polished performance...
perhaps for my efforts.
Oh how I wish Katherine had even an ounce more athletic
prowess than her mom.
(Just an ounce would go sooo far, considering my lack of
skill in the athletic department...at any age)
DNA and her Aspergers combine to make anything requiring
physical coordination a mountain for her to climb.
She is attending a 4 week Cheerleading Clinic. What most girls
learn and perfect in one session takes weeks and month for her
to "get"
Crazy as it sounds...I'll be back out in the front yard tonight...With my sneakers on...
Cheering for Katherine and "demonstrating" Cartwheel Skills
I can only hope the camera is rolling IF I get it right..and
WHEN she gets it right.
Can you still do a cartwheel? Back Bend, Handstand, etc.
Could you ever?
Are you as athletic as I am (not)?
Note...the photo of Katherine....My neighbor's house in the background. She is a seasonal resident, hence...her Hurricane Shutters are closed on her side and back windows. Just thought I would point out the trendy Shutter Look. It is a better "look" than the original plywood we used to have anchored into the stucco for protecting windows, doors, and everyone inside.
Hopefully we NEVER have to use ours again.
