The Gymnastic Stylings of Jos

Josie loves gymnastics now. There was a time in the not-too-distant past when Josie was all like "I hate gymnastics!" and stuff, but now she really loves it. Her specialty is the cartwheel and she has got 31 flavors of those. One handed, two fisted, elbow, arms hooked together inside the long sleeves of her shirt. Really any kind a 7-year-old Marylou type can think up. She is a cartwheel monster and cannot--can not--watch TV or have a conversation without doing a cartwheel every 3.4 seconds. You think I am joking.

Anyway, in addition to cartwheels she has now mastered the art of the back walkover. I guess I shouldn't say "mastered" it because that implies that her toes would be pointed and her legs would be straight, but she now does them without landing on her head and without me "spotting" her, which is great for me because I think I was starting to develop some sort of serious arm injury from keeping her body aloft and her head off the floor. I'm not kidding! My arms were killing me.

So here is a professionally produced video of a few of her tricks. Never mind Tommy's little moment on camera. He was a total disappointment. (Also please disregard the sad little white tree--yet to be decorated--in the corner.)
