8.14.08   Charlotte has been enjoying the Olympics.  So far her favorite event is swimming which she called the "crying when I’m swimming show."  As soon as they started playing the national anthem she told me that the men would start crying.  Today when she threw a tantrum during Zach’s lunch break he went in to help her through it.  He finally got her to stop crying by singing the national anthem.  When he finished the song she said she wanted to watch the "crying and swimming movie."

8.15.08 While watching the Olympics with us Isaac said "Now we feel good in our tummy because they win’d.  If they didn’t win our tummies would not feel good?"

8.16.08 Isaac watched the track events for the first time.  He ran with the athletes.  When they’d say "Mark. . .Set. . .<<gunshot>>" he ran down the hall.  He excitedly demonstrated how they jump hurdles to his father–it was quite an amusing display.

8.20.08 Today the kids played Olympics with aunt Krista.  She taught Isaac how to start a race with your feet on an imaginary starting block, they practiced shot put throws, and then created their own sports.  Isaac’s favorite was his own invention.  It involved throwing a ball into a tree and you win if leaves fall down.

(The picture of Nicole has nothing to do with the comments except that it looks like she might be watching the Olympics with great hope for team USA)
