Our Little Monkey


Not that I in any way believe in the whole Chinese zodiac thing, but interestingly enough - Emma was born in the year of the Monkey. And yes, she is quite the little monkey. This was taken during gymnastics. To give a little bit of a visual, the place she takes gymnastics is in an industrial type building so the ceiling is quite high. The rope area is built up off the ground but it's still a LONG way up to the top. Little Emma goes up that rope like it's no big deal and it just cracks me up!

They also have a climbing net over on the other side of the building and she was going up that thing when she was a little bitty chicka. Her teacher/coach would turn around to say something to another child & up the net she would go. I would bust out laughing when the coach would turn back and around, see Emma and say "Oh dear".

Believe me when I say, we've said our share of "oh dears" since the day she became ours.

All that to say, she's been a little monkey since day 1!

Oh my!!! She is really high. It makes me nervous to look at that picture. Emma really is a little monkey.

Amazing. I keep thinking that rope looks really rough and scratchy and how it must hurt her legs. I am very impressed.
