Somersault

When we were stuck in Seattle, there was not much to be had for entertainment. We didn't have any extra money, as we were spending it all on being stuck in Seattle. So the boys came up with there own style of entertainment. Mostly, this meant chasing each other around the room, laughing and squealing in delight almost at the top of their lungs. Frankly, I was pretty much okay with that. But Monday night, Joey started trying to somersault on the bed. It was hysterical to watch. In my experience, it would be considered normal to start a somersault either on your knees or from a squatting position with your hands down in front of you. But that is not how Joey did a somersault. The following pictures illustrate, frame by frame, how Joey does a somersault.

Obviously, these were not all from the same somersault...but I had to take several pictures to try to capture the whole thing. He cracks me up!

This is one of my favorite pictures because you can see all three of them are having the time of their lives wrestling with each other. Daddy's got Joey, but Nick's got Daddy! This is how Daddy settles them down before bed, of course. Thanks Daddy.
