Ella's lame attempt at a somersault...

Kids never fail to amaze me
by trying things that they were unsuccessful at
again and again and again...

however silly the attempt, when there is success of any degree,
the celebration is worth all the trials to get there.
So while I slightly mock the attempt, there is a sense of pride that Ella keeps trying!

Doesn't that face look ornery?
Ella constantly takes her hair ties out, which makes her look like a hoodlum!
She is really sweet despite her rough look.

Ella's attempts were going no where.
She has done it before and flipped hard, so I don't know why she was trying it again.
Maybe just showing off for mommy's friends.

Daddy lending a hand.

A much softer landing...

Giggles for all!!!
