MORE Gymnastics

The girls discovered that the floor makes a much safer balance beam than the edge of Mommy and Daddy's bed.  While watching Olympic Gymnastics this afternoon, both girls put on a remarkable beam routine.

Julia was up first, putting in a solid performance for Team Rowe Household:




Next was Madeleine.  First of all, I think all gymnastics teams should adopt Madeleine's uniform.  Forget the sparkly, skin-tight leotards.  A flowing red skirt with loose pink tie-dyed shirt is the new rage.  Secondly, you gotta commend Madeleine's full-energy flailing as she goes about her beam routine.  GO BIG OR GO HOME!:





While Madeleine waited her turn for the event, she did what every gymnast does to warm up: got out her trusty broom.  Here she is in the background as Julia finishes her routine:







And here she is, stretching her gymnast's arms out as she sweeps the ceiling:



Really, who needs a coach when you have a good, old-fashioned, handy-dandy broom by your side?  Team Rowe Household for the win!

  1. Great start! Turning off the TV and looking at the beam would help...
