Blake's been having issues with the various warm-up exercises they do at football practice, push-ups being the main thing. So last night we set out to teach him how to do a proper push-up, rather than a butt-up. We realized what his main problem is...his elbows are double jointed. Is that not one of the grosses and freakiest things you have ever seen!

He finally got the concept, even if they are "girl push-ups", and if he doesn't lock those crazy elbows of his he does pretty well. So from here on out push-ups and sit-ups are added to his daily "After School To Do List" to practice and build up some strength.

Your child is a freak! That is disgusting. Was thie double jointed thing something new you discovered?

Thanks we bought them like 2 years ago...you need to visit more often! :)
That is just wierd! Grandpa McDowell had that same problem! Let me tell you when I was looking at this picture Dad was by me and he laughed because he saw Blake doing girly push ups! haha! Happy? I got the couches up haven't had time to snap photo of her "snowman" suit yet though! I'll try and remember!
Um, have you even seen my house let alone my rugs?? Maybe you should try to VISIT!! Thank you very much!
We STARTED with girly push-ups to get the concept down...he'd get beat up at practice if he did them that way! He does real ones everyday after school and in warm ups for football, don't worry! :)
