We got this exciting news from Chelsea this morning:
We just learned that Coco made the school jump rope team. We are beyond excited (and I'm relieved!). To be prepared to audition, she had to learn 2 routines, 10 new tricks, and test above a certain level in speed rope and power. Then of course, she had to do the dreaded double unders. At the beginning of August she could only do 1, and she had to jump 1-2 hours almost every day to make that goal. Half way through the month we found out that we misread the guidelines: she found out that she had to do 30 DUs in a row instead of the 3rd grade 20. That was discouraging, but we're so proud she didn't give up.
Though she already made it on the Tri-Force performance team, "Skip-Its" spots are really coveted at her school and that was the team she really wanted to make. We can't wait to watch her in the parades and other performances. Felix can try out next year (you have to be in 3rd grade) and can't wait to jump with her.

Grandpa and I are so excited for and proud of Chloe Jane. She worked really hard.
