The girls are steadily growing into beautiful young ladies. With that comes the element of their increasing physical strength, coordination and stamina. They are gravitating to things like swimming (or playing in the water), capoeira, trampolining, biking or gymnastics. Amalia is also showing an affinity to ball sports (much to daddy's delight!). Sometimes, during "down" moments they are found searching Youtube for video clips of girls demonstrating stretching exercises and proper technique for gymnastics and then they follow up on their own learning. A wall handstand here. I spit attempt there. Perhaps a flip over the sofa.
How beautiful to watch them grow and how wonderful to see what they can accomplish. The often laugh at daddy when he can't do half of what they are doing. His splits, for example, leave much to be desired. His handstands likewise.
But when he and mommy take one look at the girls and see what the videos below show, they can't help but find it fascinating just how much they can do. Pride and joy ooze. We love you!
