Monday, December 03, 2007

Jack took first "overall" in his level. Here are some pictures.

Wayne Larson said...: Wow! That's great. Man, Jack's got some muscle tone. Some day he'll be able to take on his "old man."; December 05, 2007 2:04 PM
Jim said...: I know. Sometimes I feel as though I need to stress we're not working him out (or feeding him steriods) or anything -- he comes by it naturally.

We're also not pushing him to compete -- he just loves gymnastics (and swimming, too).

But he's all muscle. When he swims, we've had a number of adults comment that they can't believe how muscular Jack is.

The whole kid-team sports thing is pretty new to Meg and me. I did Little Leagues as a kid, and hated it. The only thing athletic I've ever enjoyed is running by myself. So going to swim meets and gymnastics meets is a whole new world for Meg and me. But I'm game to go, as long as the kids enjoy themselves.; December 05, 2007 7:50 PM
Keith said...: Awe. Some.
I had no idea.
I don't remember any kids who had anything like that kind of ability. Do an L seat like that? The horse? Those require muscle sets little kids just don't have.

I thought till today.; April 22, 2008 2:25 PM
