The cartwheel......

Ashlyn really, really, really wants to learn how to do a cartwheel. She takes a class at the rec center called tumbling for cheer which is perfect for her! She learns a new cheer every week which she practices over and over and over again. The dilemma is the cartwheel. I have been trying to help her and so I tried to show her I could do one, BIG MISTAKE!! :) (It kinda hurt falling on my head, and then she had to tell everyone the story, her version is much funnier. She saw it, I felt it:) She practices all the time, some are almost there and then others are not even close. I am not really sure if kids her age can do stuff like this anyway. In her class the girls are all about the same age and none of them can do it either??? Ted really surprises me sometimes. I told him she is having a problem with it and tries to help. Come to find out HE CAN DO ONE, not just one but several!! So now it is on, I'm convinced I need a second chance......Yep not a good idea on my hard wood floors! What happened! So Ted and Ash practice in the backyard and at the park where there is a lot of grass. I think I'm still a little in shock he can do a cartwheel:) So I guess we will see if he is a good teacher.
