Somersaults and Cartwheels

When was the last time any of you have done a cartwheel or somersault? I don't remember them hurting that much as they do now. At Brodie's soccer game last Friday, Keira and I were on the empty field behind where B was playing. We were running around and burning lots of energy, playing ring-around-the-rosie, dancing and just being silly. All the sudden, Keira started doing somersaults. (She loves to do them and she is very good, thanks go gymnastics.) So then I decided to show off my mommy skills and do some with her. We would do them together on the count of three, and she would just laugh so hard. She kept saying, "More Mommy, more!" Then, I thought of the great idea to do a cartwheel which I haven't done is so long. I used to do cartwheels and hand stands all the time. That is probably one cause of my carpel tunnel syndrome in my right hand. So the first one I did wasn't so bad. Keira thought it was so cool and tried to do one by putting her hands on the ground and doing donkey kicks. It was too cute! She then said, Again Mommy! So off I go, feet in the air, hands on the ground and then my wrist made this popping sound, and I collapsed and landed on my head. It hurt so bad and I seriously thought I broke my wrist. Keira just sat there laughing at me as tears are streaming down my face, while trying to hide my pain. It is still a little tender and it pops when I move it, but I will live. The funny thing I would do it again if she asks.....I will just tape up my wrist first.
Here are some new pics from this past week....Keira and Cooper at the Park
Keira loves her slide!
