Olympic Fever!

We've been faithfully watching the Olympics at our home. Amelia decided that she was going to be in the Olympics some day. At first she thought she would be a diver but then decided not to because she doesn't want to get her eyes wet. Next she thought she would be a gymnast. She watched the women's prelims and mimicked all of their moves until the balance beam. She then decided that it was too dangerous to do flips on a balance beam and she might fall off. She went back to diving and thought she could handle getting water in her eyes if her mom was her diving partner. I reassured her that she didn't need to be an Olympic athlete if she didn't want to. She said she wants to be in the Olympic some day as long as mommy comes with her. So she is back to gymnastics and our living room floor has been turned into her mini-Olympic venue.
