I’ve mentioned in previous posts that Sophie has become a pro at somersaults. But some of you may be doubters. This video should quell any skepticism.

Meet Sophie, a future member of the 2020 U.S. (or French) Olympic Gymnastics team. I suppose if we were good parents, we’d start fostering this innate talent. I don’t know, though. She really isn’t a team player. And furthermore, she refuses to follow instructions.

Chloe caught my husband and me smooching before. Her reaction: “OK, that’s just too disgusting.” As much as she sometimes likes to act like she’s six years older than she really is, a comment like that reassures me to no end – that the seven-year old inside hasn’t been entirely usurped.
