How doesn’t love the Olympics? Cheering for your country, hoping they come home with more medals than China, vicariously living through the teenage girls who dominate on the balance beams. Because didn’t we all want to be an Olympic gymnast? Didn’t we all watch and cheer for Dominique Moceanu during her Devil Went Down To Georgia floor routine? Who am I kidding, in 1996 I wanted to BE Dominique Moceanu.
And the last time I watched the Olympics it was Michael Phelps who took the spotlight. He made America proud and racked up medals left and right. 4 years ago. We watched the Olympics in our old house while Allen was buying laying hardwood in the living room until midnight most evenings. A baby? Well, that wasn’t even on my radar. It’s crazy how many things can change in 4 years.
This year we’ll be piling on the couch as a family of three to catch some of the games.
I’ll make sure to catch each and every gymnastic competition. I might have already picked a favorite, I fell in love with Gabby Wilson during the preliminaries.
What about you, what’s your favorite sport to watch?

I LOVE the Olympics, always have! My fav summer sports are gymnastics and swimming, but I will watch almost anything. My fav gymnast this year is Gabby too, she seems so sweet and she’s amazing! I hope the women’s team take gold and I hope Michael Phelps dominates again. He was incredible to watch in 2008!
