Love your post and the Olympics! Can't wait to watch and rooting for Simone Biles and Team USA to get the GOLD this year. I know just what you mean about the floor gymnastics event. And the balance beam always makes me hold my breath as they try and stick the landings. What incredible athletes! Thank you for writing such a fun post and HAPPY OLYMPICS 2024 from PARIS (also one of my favorite places in the world). By the way I hope you got Paramount to stream them. I have Peacock but not Paramount. But I will be watching them with granny the old fashioned way on NBC! :-)
We don’t have paramount but we are signed in to peacock now and I’ve read they are the new home to the Olympics so I’m sure they will have plenty of content!! Can’t wait for opening ceremonies tonight!
All the synchronized things! They are so weird and so fun. I also read that one Olympic year they had solo synchronized swimming which seems really odd.
Love these recommendations—makes me excited for Friday and all that’s to come in Paris. I got two of the She Persisted books today about Olympians (Flo-Jo and Diana Taurasi…our system didn’t have Simone Biles for whatever reason) from the library not realizing that they were chapter books and not picture books. Haven’t given them a go yet, but may try to pivot quickly and get some of these to get my 3 year old pumped to watch some Olympics! And how fun to think about doing some competitions of our own…!
Thank you!! I still haven’t checked out the she persisted series! We are right on the cusp of chapter books with the my older kid so my 3 year old will tolerate them if they are in the right mood 🤣
My kid LOVES the She Persisted series. Will just randomly throw out "Harriet Tubman" and make me feel like the best parent ever (it's a short-lived millisecond but I will TAKE IT!).
Dude, it is so cute! And will amp up the word usage even more I am sure. What a funny thing to call everyone. My littlest just keeps calling everyone “that guy/girl”

Putting my hand up for the synchronized swimming with you!!

Okay awesome!! Love that. I won’t rule them out yet as “beyond” us!
Can't wait to get Dude for my little guy who is calling everyone dude lately!

I am humming "Eye of the Tiger." Is that not right?
Bahahaha yessss that is pretty much correct
