Somersault

Throughout different points of the summer, I noticed Anna attempting to do a somersault. It made Dave and I a bit nervous as she goes down at a strange angle that looks uncomfortable if not dangerous for her little neck. When I saw her start, I would usually go and guide her through it trying not to discourage her but simply give her some pointers.

Well, the other night, we had been out all day and had just gotten home. We had spent most of the day at a pumpkin farm so we were all a little dirty and itchy from the muddy play area and hay ride. So we headed right upstairs for a bath. Anna followed us into our room and without any warning, did a perfect somersault!

It was getting late considering Anna hadn't had a nap and I wanted her to take a bath before bedtime, so I was feeling a little rushed. This took me right out of my goal-focused mind set and back into the moment. It was a really good feeling! Go Anna - my little gymnast!
