TMA and Jump Rope For Life

Did you know there were such people as Jump Rope World Champions? This fact was made known to me Monday when we attended Mia's school fundraiser event called Jump Rope for Life. Hoping to catch more of Talia's nap then the opening ceremony of sorts, we arrived just in time for the kindergartners to have a go at jumping. We missed the champion jump roper amaze the audience with unicycle jump roping down the stairs, jumping while sitting down, and black light fancy roping. Where was this guy for all of our lame elementary assemblies?

The gym and cafeteria turned into a veritable wonderland of jump rope stations. On top of the constant changing stations, the school's coach blasted such hits as "Surfin' On Top of the World" by the Beach Boys to keep things interesting.


And in true Mia form that has existed since she was in the womb, her body was incapable of holding still for any length of time while the music was playing. If she wasn't completing the jump rope task of the given station, she was bouncing and shaking her stuff to the beat.
Fernando and I are certain that she is destine to make her way to the Knight Mangnum building someday to sing into a mirror at random intervals and step ball change her way through most menial tasks. (for non zoobies, just know that she is a performance major candidate for sure.)

Tiago and Talia found joy in the music and plastic cones and someone's stroller.


Tiago tried once to get into the jump rope scene because the ropes happened to be red, but with so many kindergartners, he had a hard time finding a free one. No worries, the red cones were good enough for him.
