Since the Olympics began, we have let Colm stay up a little past his normal bedtime to watch some "special sports". It makes him feel special and he has especially taken to speed skating, skiing and snowboarding. (He's not so interested in figure skating.) The other day, I came home from judging a gymnastics meet and I find him running in circles around the house with him bent over at the waist with one arm tucked behind his back. What was he doing, you might ask??? Speed skating, of course!
Later that night, he proceeded to show me how he can jump and turn in the air and do a "double woo". A "double woo" is of course something you see everyday in the snowboard half pipe!
Or what about the time he ran down the hallway stopped abruptly, bent his knees and best over at the waist. After a very brief moment (like everything moment is for Colm), he yells out "woosh" and jumps. Can you pick the sport? Ski Jumping!
If I find rocks in my kitchen when I get home tomorrow, I'll know they've been watching curling!
