When a three-year-old says, “Watch what I can do,” it is the equivalent of an adult saying, “Here, hold my beer!” Yesterday, I was sitting in Evelyn’s room working on her therapies. Lilly decided to join us and was watching every move we made. She was showing me that SHE could do everything Evelyn could.
Then she hopped up and said, “Mama, watch what I can do! Take a picture!” Now, let me explain that Lilly ALWAYS wants me to take a picture…of her hair, of her stuffed animal, of her lunch. She’s constantly asking me to take them, and for the most part, they are not anything out of the ordinary. I had my phone right beside me, so I queued up the camera and told her to go for it. Then this happened…
The kid has mad skills!
At first, this may look like I just caught her in the middle of a roll, and that’s what I THOUGHT she was going to do. But no. She flipped over onto her head and then STAYED THIS WAY for at least three seconds before she made a pretty decent dismount. She stood up all wild-eyed with her blonde hair sticking up all over her head, and squealed, “DID YOU SEE THAT?!?!”
Good! She was just as surprised as me, because I was in utter shock at what I had just witnessed. If it wasn’t for the picture, no one else would believe me. She was so proud of herself, and I was impressed to say the least. I always say we have our own circus at home. I had no idea that we had an acrobat among all the clowns.
Surprises herself, sometimes
