It's amazing the things you discover about yourself when you have kids. Today I discovered that I can still do cartwheels!
You may ask how I discovered this.....
Well, really it's quite easy. Ashleigh has been attempting to do them on the trampoline but her idea of a cartwheel is to put one arm down then throw herself down onto the tramp and roll her body over the top. I've been watching her do this for a few days and wondered if I could do cartwheels but didn't really want to damage myself trying (I mean, really, it must be at least 20 years since I last tried to do one!)
This morning she was attempting them again while I hung out washing. When I finished I snuck around the other side of the washing line and gave it a go. What do you know? I did a pretty darned good cartwheel. Mind you, my inner thigh muscles screamed in protest at the time and I wondered if I'd be able to walk later today!
I was actually caught out doing it though so proceeded to demonstrate another 3 or 4 times (with my muscles protesting slightly less each time!)
Gabriella then started trying to do them by putting her hands on the ground then just falling down! Super cute
