Olympians

We finally watched a little of the Olympics on Sunday. When we first turned on the TV, it was showing equestrian. Jacob and Joey watched for a few minutes and disappeared.

Jacob: Mommy, mommy, come here and watch our horse race!

I walked into the play room. Jacob had laid down the basketball hoop on the floor. He and Joey each had a hobby horse.

Jacob: Mommy, watch our race. Joey, get ready, get set, go.

And off they went, jumping over the obstacle course.

Later during the day, they were showing rowing on TV.

I found Jacob and Joey in the playroom, each sitting in a clear plastic bin, with a golf club in their hands.

Jacob: Mommy, we are in a boat race.

I guess we really have to be careful on what we show the kids on TV.

Let's see. No Boxing. No Greco, Roman Wrestling, no high bars, no diving.

Connor is now doing syncronized diving with Madeline and his friend Grant.

Jacbo and Joey were "diving" off the couch last night.
