I thought it would be fun for us to go to the SUU Gymnast's preview meet for Family Home Evening. I also tried to help that motivate the kids to get their chores done. When they got home from school I told them the plan of getting all chores done quick so we could go. Kamri went ballistic. No gymnastics and No Chores!! I gave her the option of her staying home with dad and the rest of us going to gymnastics but she didn't like that either, she wanted us to all stay home.
She moped all through doing chores but not about doing chores, about going to the meet! She was the one I thought would be excited to go, not the one I was forcing. I knew she would love it once we got there.
We found our seats and the gymnasts were warming up on the vault. One gymnast flipped over and landed. Kamri's eyes went huge as her mouth turned into an 'O'. "WOW!" and she was hooked.
"Are these famous gymnas-tickers?"
She watched happily and when we got home she put on her gymnastic outfit and started doing cartwheels around the house.
It's nice to know I was right.....even if she won't admit it.
