Those Pesky Bars......

I remember when I was a little girl watching kids do all sorts of crazy tricks on the bars at school. They would hang upside down, then flip off. Or hang by one leg and swing around. I like to imagine that I could do that too, and maybe I did. To be honest I can't really remember, and I'm certainly not going to try it now! Oh, how Lizzy wishes she could do those tricks! She looks longingly at the bars at school, or at the park, and grunts and pulls and jumps and stamps her feet in frustration trying to figure it out. Let's just say..........bars aren't her long suit- at least not yet. But, she's making progress! On a good day, she can figure out how to swing her legs up to boost herself up and sit on top of the bars. Pretty cool! But with every success, comes a set-back. About one minute after this picture was taken, after Lizzy was still tasting the sweetness of her triumph, she fell backwards and landed hard on the ground. She was shook up, and definitely deflated, but was ready to try again a few minutes later (I'm not sure I was ready for her to try again). I know she'll get it one of these days. She is a very determined girl.
