It is Thursday, September 9. Julia comes over to visit Grandpa and Great-Granpa and we surprise her with her long-awaited balance beam. She is not sure what it is...
My Dad explains it to her but she is shy.. "What is it?" She asks.
'
She checks it out a little more closely...
... and decides this might be something to sit on. Oh, this is fun...
.
My Dad demonstrates the true use of the finely crafted balance beam...
With the help of a steadying hand, Julia is willing to try it...
She falls off the end. The beam is a little crooked. Dad checks it out...
Julia watches and offers advice...
...She doesn't care if the "bawance bean" is crooked. She loves it and she loves her Great-Granpa.
Riley decides she is big enough to try it.
Oh, oh, oh, it is just too hight. I am too little she decides.
Julia is now ready to "bawance with her ahms out"....
Shes doesn't need any help. "ME DO, ME DO" She insists.
