Show and Tell

Last week was fairly uneventful, aside from a little fall that resulted in a tender shoulder for about 24 hours. I think the biggest moment was the realization that my husband does not get the chance to see the new skills that The Munchkin Princess gains each week as she works so hard. He works into the evenings and goes to school afterward in the middle of the week. So the only time he is able to observe training is on Fridays, but those are conditioning days so nothing spectacular happens for my husband to see. With the way that the gym is set up I can't even take home clear video for him to see the new skills that are developing. But her skills are indeed coming along wonderfully. We now have a solid front flip dismount off the balance beam, back walk-over on the balance beam, and an ever improving back tuck from a back hand-spring. Blisters, rips, scraped toes, bruised shoulders, and sore legs The Munchkin Princess pushes through day after day ready to work. Rarely asking for time off and always ready to sweat as long as she knows she gets to eat afterwards. Haha
I feel privileged to be able to watch her Fly High and Stick It, even if my view is obstructed at times.

Your word for the day:
