Gymnastics has been an interest in Todd's family for years. Two of his sisters were very active in the sport, one of the two also a collegiate competitor. I was always curious if Maya would show any ability or interest as she grew.
Last night, we watched the US women's gymnastic team compete in Beijing. Maya was enthralled. She turned around the floor as she watched and occasionally tried to flourish her hand up above her. It was all quite adorable.
When the coverage switched to swimming, she was not pleased. She started to make the ASL sign for "more" and then re-imitated the hand flourish above her. She repeated this several times before she realized that she was stuck with swimming.
Perhaps we'll have to enroll her in some classes in a few years.

Looks like she is getting an early start! Isn't the salute the most important part? Sweet girl.
How fun! I miss you...
