Monkey Bar Mistress

Zoe has been working at this for months... The monkey bars. Years ago, she would hang.
Then more recently, she would have me hold her legs, and I would rock her back and forth, and show her how to swing her weight and change her hands across the bars. This week, she finally mastered doing it all herself. She is so happy, and she wants to go to the park all the time to practice. I was looking at her hands today- and a big row of little red callouses are forming. The sign of a bar swinging little girl. The badge of accomplishment.

Bravo, Zoe, I knew you had it in you.
