You Spin Me Round
Taylor was spinning on her heel. “That’s great, Taylor! Can you spin on your toes?” And she spun on her toes like a ballerina! It was so cute. She was happy and laughing, and that got the boys to spin. I suppose the natural way to spin is on the heel first because the boys were doing it that way rather than on their toes.
Ty and Taylor both spun to the right, clockwise, on their right heels. Kyle spun the opposite direction on his left heel. He looked like he noticed that he wasn’t doing it like his siblings, and he was clumsy at his attempt to spin on the right. While Taylor’s attempt on her left was more graceful than Kyle’s attempt on his right. Ty didn’t notice the change and kept right on spinning on his right heel until he crashed into a foot locker nearby.
So I learned something about each of the older children today. Kyle prefers his left over right for some things (I wonder if he’ll be a lefty shooter like his Mommy), and perhaps that is why he has yet to decide if he wants to hold the crayon with his right or left. Taylor demonstrates a level of grace and physical aptitude beyond her years except when she’s doing everyday sorts of things such as walking down the hall or getting into her chair. She’ll fall down almost half the time. And Ty, gosh, for as intelligent as he is, he didn’t notice that the other two were changing their directions. Maybe he was just having way too much fun getting dizzy. He can be too silly and too immature for his age sometimes.
Well, I can be grateful that they weren’t growing extra arms.
