Grant is Great

At this weeks baseball game, Grant was the recipient of the Game Ball.  He made some big plays out in center field and had a big hit to drive in a big run.  Way to go Grant!  He is just starting his baseball season.  We are excited to have two more games to attend each week.  I love baseball.

Also, Grant has been taking gymnastics for about 6 months.  He absolutely LOVES it!!!  He loves his coach, Kyson.  He can't wait for Monday nights.  He works hard and is so sweaty every time I pick him up from the gym.  He is upside down on his hands more than on his feet these days.  He is getting so strong and developing some big muscles in his shoulders and abdomen.  Grant's coach has been working very hard with Grant for the past few weeks teaching him how to do a back handspring.  Grant doesn't have that NO FEAR attitude, in fact, he thinks about everything and psychs himself out unless someone is helping him.
Well, I have been working with him on our tramp for a couple of days.  It has not been easy.  I took a fist to the temple the first time and it knocked me silly.  Then Grant chickened out half way through one attempt and landed on his head.  But, we kept at it and this is the result....

Yay Grant!  It is almost just natural to him.  Sometimes he will still ask me to spot his first attempt, but then will go on to do 20 by himself.  It is just a matter of days, and this will be the new trick being done all over my house.
