All summer long. She has been trying so hard to master the monkey bars.
Hand over hand…
How many more bars do I have?
I can do it…I can do it…
And finally. Last week, she made it across without any help from Mommy.
How could this not be my Best Shot of the week?
You did it, kiddo. I knew those long, monkey arms and legs would come in handy.
Check out some other big achievements today at Tracey’s.
Look at that face! Just wait til she gets her first blister. Then she won’t want to do it anymore.
oh yay emma!!!!
i love that face! what a great shot!
Go Emma! What a great expression — and what a great accomplishment!
I remember when I used to be able to do that…and I will have you know that I tried a few weeks ago to do it again. It turns out that some things are NOT just like riding a bike. And monkey bars is one of them…
Oh my goodness…I love her expression on that last one! It just screams, “I did it!!”. Great capture on that. And good job Emma!
Oh my gosh.. I can hear the squeals from here. Way to go, Em!!!!
(remind me sometime to tell you the story of my mom on the monkey bars- it’s good for a laugh.)
YAY Em! Way to go! She looks like a real kindergartener now. This is such a great series…terrific light and you captured her concentration and joy so well!
Yay Emma!!!!! I love the shot where you can kinda see her foot, you KNOW she was flailing those around to gather up some momentum. Hand ove hand! Well done! Great super fab shots!
what a great series!
Hooray! What a proud moment. Those are great shots – she’s concentrating so hard!
hooray! that last one is awesome – what a face:-) a great collection of shots, would make a fun frame set.
