I was able to go to Syd's parents day at gymnastics yesterday. She's been rockin' it OUT ! She's a back handspringing fool.
I had camera in hand. Ready to catch her doing her back handsprings down the mat. Stood, video camera up. wait for her turn aaaand RECORD. THERE SHE GOES ! She gives me the smile and thumbs up each and every time she passes me on the mat after she's done with her tricks.
I sit. I wait. I look down and realize. I'm recording my pants. and the mat. I had it all reversed. I paused her tricks and recorded nothing. AAAAH !!! (lucky for me I did notice though)
After checking the camera like 4 times, I did get her doing a few. She was sooooo tired at this point, it was the end of class, so it's not her best. but take my word for it. the girl is a flipping machine. (I mean that in the flipping around kind of way)
It's funny, Syd came home so excited, "I did 8 back handsprings in a row mom !! I would have done more but teacher said that if I did 9 I'd run in to the drinking fountain" :) I love that kid.
ok, without further ado. and for those of you who didn't just skip right to the goods.
Here are the goods.
