We are enjoying the 2012 Olympics more than any other year.
Maybe it’s just that they’re older.
Maybe it’s that they compete in so many of the sports.
With #2 and #3 in gymnastics (#2 can throw a back handspring and do a killer handstand)…
And #2 and #1 making waves in the swimming pool (#1 got 4th in the 50m free at divisionals and #2 receiving an award for most improved)…
And mommy constantly reminding them that they can’t really be bored anymore because, no matter when you turn the TV on, there’s always hot Olympians something to watch.
They are very into this summer’s games. Our entire family is really.
And, since they have the best friggin’ mama on the planet we hosted a neighborhood Olympics party to get the kids in our hood in the mood…
they are even more excited to watch the competition and root for the great US of A (which is not a STATE but a union of such, a fact that has had to be rehashed a number of times; geography is hard, yo).
So, what’s your favorite Olympic sport? And, it’s totally cool if you say judo or curling, I dig those too!
I find Men’s Gymnastics to be a train wreck you can’t help yourself but watch. It’s heart stopping, even if the athletes weren’t so delicious. But they are really just a bonus.
We are really enjoying watching the Olympics at our house too. The boys like to watch soccer (which is kind of weird because neither of them play) and they like watching swimming so far. Buddy is pretty into the gymnastics, which I figured he would be, just more than I thought he would. Buddy also asked to stay up late to watch the Opening Ceremonies, which surprised me.
Amanda,
Hi there! My favorite Olympics sport is gymnastics followed by swimming and diving.
I’d like to add that I just saw your What Not To Wear show and you had an amazing transformation. I am so happy for you!
Thanks for your great blog!

We love them all. Like y’all, we have participated in several.
Last night my kids went from pretending to swim across the floor to doing flips. They are loving it.
Xander is getting into it and it so much fun to watch. He was entranced by gymnastics last night. I am in love with it all. Right now I’m feeling a bit sleep deprived since I stayed up to watch all of the woman’s gymnastics team trials. My favs are gymnastics and right now swimming. I am really hoping they televise more of the Taekwondo matches because it’s a lot of fun to watch. The woman are nuts!
