M&M Olympics

Here is Ellie at her first olympics. I say first because both my mom and I have a prediction. Although Ellie was due on August 21 and I was induced on August 6th she managed to hang on and not enter this world until August 8th- specifically 8.8.08 which as many of you remember was the first day of the summer olympics 2008- thus the only logical conclusion is someday ellie will be an olympic athlete- it is destiny! Not sure whether it will be gymnastics or swimming but with her build and her performance this year I am leaning towards gymnastics. there were tons of people there and ellie was chosen to hold the sign that said toddlers- as you can see from the pic she was concentrating so hard- she looked as though if she dropped the sign her life would be over. Some of the kids shied away with all the spectators but not my future superstar- she did more stunts and tried more tricks than ever before. And when it was time to get on the podium and accept her trophe was she intimidated by the audience- not my Ellie- she ran up and threw her hands in the air. My only regret was only having my camera and not my video camera because I am pretty sure one day when she is in the real olympics these videos will be played by NBC when doing her back story- ha ha- I don't care if this was only the local edmond gymnastics olympics- I was as proud as any mom!
