Head Over Heels ...

I don't know what it is about my daughter Willa, but ever since we enrolled her in gymnastics this fall, she's been flipping an awful lot. She'll hang from the slats of the upper bunk bed and flip her feet through. She'll hold my hands and back-flip through our arms, hanging upside-down for as long as my arms can hold her before flipping through and landing on her feet.

And in the last few weeks it has been taking us much longer to walk to school than usual because she stops every house or two to do a somersault. One cold snowy morning this week, as I was returning home from dropping the kids off at school, I walked past our neighbors' long side yard. And there in the fresh snow was the evidence of Willa's earlier passing: 4 or 5 footprints and one full-body Willa print, 4 or 5 footprints and one full-body Willa print; 4 or 5 footprints and one full-body Willa print...

Happy sweeping!
