So we find ourselves glued to the television night after night right now, slaves to the beast that is the Summer Olympics! Why does NBC broadcast the most exciting things after 10 p.m. we wonder? Some people have to get up early for work!
As a result, Claire hasn't been too into the Olympics. Cycling, boxing, and the other daytime broadcast sports are not terribly interesting to a 15 month-old. I think she'd be bouncing off the walls if she could watch the gymnastics.
We think she may enjoy gymnastics in a few years - she LOVES to "jump," climb, spin and spin right now. "Jumping" involves squatting down really low, saying "jump!" and then standing up as fast as she can - never once with her feet leaving the ground! A 2-step step-stool has become a favorite gym apparatus, having been climbed from multiple directions and pushed to virtually any and every spot on our kitchen floor. "Spin and spin" is a low-speed twirling whereby Claire falls to her bottom after one or two rotations. We'll have to work on spotting to increase the spin quantity...
