Strengths

There was a time not long ago when I thought Ida would never get the rings or monkey bars straight.  Now she's got huge calluses on her hands and is always figuring out a way to complicate things.  Above she's "skipping rings" on the bars; meanwhile, Elsie is demonstrating how to do the monkey bars backward.  Below, Ida's doing the "double rings" which is actually much more difficult because there's less swinging, I guess.

This is what it looks like.  In general, I think Ida could learn physical things more quickly (e.g. riding a bike) if she didn't have to keep up such a monologue while doing so.  She's quite serious, as you can see, about getting this "double" straight.

You think Miki's not strong?

Here she is showing off her muscles at the climbing gym--with Sara and Daniel.
