(It has to do with her lack of movement in a baby sling her first 10 months of life in Guatemala) With that said, even getting her to exercise (like the trampoline, or doing some kind of kid friendly/fun sit-up) hasn't helped as much as I had hoped it would. Miss M wanted to ride a bike with no training wheels. I was doubtful to say the least. But it is always worth a try. So yesterday was a second attempt, the first attempt was just oh so wrong!

You see, tomorrow is International Women's Day, and I am celebrating by going to see this movie. I watched the preview and I felt inspired. I hope you do too. Here is some information from the site: "In honor of International Women’s Day on Thursday, March 5th, Fathom Events presents the acclaimed documentary, A Powerful Noise. This exclusive event will be followed by a live panel discussion with top experts and celebrity activists. You can be a part of the...
