Alyssa

Alyssa cracks me up. One time while she was at my mom's house she found one of my old gymnastics outfits from when I was about 11. Anyway she put it on and wore it to gymnastics. (I was out of town.) Since then she wears it about every week. It's fluorescent and awful but she thinks it's cute. I don't fight it anymore...not to mention it's so old it's almost in style again.

So last night Gentry sent me this video of Alyssa. She FINALLY dared to do her round off back handspring by herself. (I have memories of me in high school fearing the dreaded standing back-handspring...and actually doing a fake one in our competition...how embarrassing.)
I am so proud of her!

Now keep in mind the video is side-ways so tip your head to the left to watch. That's her in the beloved outfit of mine.
