Olympic Fever!

Ethan and I have been watching the Olympics streaming live all week. We discuss winning, losing, how to be a good sport at both, and the practice and perseverance it takes the athletes to get there.

It has inspired new play and most fun of all, he's learning how to cheer like a sports fan! Apparently, pants aren't required to root for the home team of US of A!

First he "rode Gavin like a horsie" after the equestrian competition.
Then he wore a friend's goggles for almost 2 hours at a pool play date, "because olympians wear goggles, it makes them faster."

It didn't matter if he was on land or if it was snack time!

My only regret is watching the discus competition, I'm not sure our windows will stay intact after he's done practicing that one!
