It’s wonderful being Tatum’s mom for a zillion reasons. One of them is getting to watch her master a skill.
First, she just loves going to Sportball. I stand at the window and just ooh and aah.
Her little hands can really maneuver that ball!
This day it was St. Patrick’s day, so they took a photo and wore their hats/beards
Note: Tot is the only girl amongst 13 boys
SO FUN!!!
Then we go to Open Gym at Scottsdale Gymnastics, and I continue to be amazed. She saw another little girl working those bars, and she was determined to do a flip. After about 10 tries, she did it! Then she did the same with hanging by her legs. I took a ton of videos just watching her persist with tenacity. Then, she’d go around and find mommies to watch. “Watch this!” I’d tell Tatum that they had to watch their own kids, but she didn’t care. She needed an audience!
When it’s all over, we celebrate with her pouncing on top of ……
ME!
I’m so proud of her tenacity and her will to learn. LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
