She's a PT's daughter for sure!
After looking through some old pictures the other day and finding one of herself at about age 2, Gabrielle said "Oh no mommy, look, I was W-sitting!"

An early lesson in relationships.
A conversation at the breakfast table the other morning...
Evie: "Luke hardly talks to me anymore." (Luke is a preschool friend)
Mom: "Why not?"
Evie: "I don't know. He just hardly even plays with me anymore."
Mom: "Hmm." (somewhat distracted, finishing up making the other two's lunches)
Evie: "It's so FRUSTRATING!"
Mom to herself: "welcome to the next twenty years of your life honey!" Didn't have the heart to say it outloud though.

Mind ramblings during running, or why THIS physical therapist will never be a jogger.
"Ok, 2 days to get ready for the race; let's run."

"Wonder why my cadence sounds so off?"
tap step, tap step, tap step,
"I'm not getting a heel strike on the left side. That's the leg that was affected when I herniated my disc."
tap step, tap step, tap step,
"Can I try to make my heel hit first?"
Thwap step, thwap step, thwap step
"Ugh, nope."
tap step, tap step, tap step,
"Gotta coordinate the breathing."
inhale tap step, tap step, exhale tap step, tap step,
"Stupid hand me down basketball shorts are sliding down my hips-probably look like some kinda thug with my shorts halfway down my hips-Speaking of hips, what's going on with my right hip-It feels funny-It must be this long Tshirt-doesn't allow my hip to extend-Can a T shirt weigh enough to stop a hip from extending-Is it the shorts-Ohhh, maybe it's this Walkman from the 90's that's pulling my shorts down-I really gotta figure out how to load that iPod Den got me for my birthday-Yup, right hip definitely not extending as much as the left-have I gone a mile yet-oh, not even to the school yet-definitely not a mile-why don't I have an even heelstrike-do I walk that way too-look, if I watch my left foot, it's pronating and everting-what's up with that-I'll have to ask someone to look at "OHHHHH! I'm so sorry! I didn't even see you. I was looking down at my...ok I'll watch where I'm going. I'm sorry."
