"Traction"

JJ told me tonight as he was getting ready for bed that he knows how to do "traction." I asked him what traction was and he said, "you know like adding numbers together."  Oh! Addition!  He then gave me an example, "mom, I know what 80 plus 40 is."  He thought a little bit and said, "120."  He then told me how 40 plus 40 is 80. I cannot even tell you how impressed I was that my 6 year old can add that well. 

Valentine's Day.

What a great Valentine's Day we had today. Besides being spoiled by Jim, we were able to be spoiled by JJ and Reese. They woke us up and asked if they could go color. They returned shortly after that with our Valentine's Day cards. They even included candy!  What sweethearts.

Our little gymnast

Reese has learned so many new things in her gymnastic classes. We're on the 4th class and today she did a handstand into the giant foam pit. 

She also has perfected her bridge. 

For the first time she worked on a back hand spring, "back spring" as Reese calls it. 

Finally, they have done work on the uneven bars as well as the balance beam. Reese is loving it.
