Punkstos Bday

Punksto, hands down the cutest child in her generation of my family, turned six years old this weekend. We made the trek down to Olympia to help her celebrate, and celebrate she did! Family , delicious , and a party at the gymnastics place, where mats for tumbling, bars for swinging, and trampolines for bouncing abounded. (It was a great place to practice the new(ish) .)

((The gymnastics place didn't let "adults" play on the equipment, which was kind of like putting a piece of pizza in front of someone on the Atkins diet, pure hell. I was ready to risk it all and make a break for the springboard into the foam pit. But I held myself back, for Punksto's sake. I guess that is my present to her: not getting her banned from the gym.))

Adults can't play on the equipment, but grandmas can, it appears. Margaret appears to be putting all that living room trampolining to good use.

I just put it together that Cora and Punksto are the same kid. How'd she get that name?

Here's the poem Cora recited to us on her birthday:
When I was one I had just begun.
When I was two I was nearly new.
When I was three I was more and more me.
when I was four I was even more.
When I was five I was so alive.
But now I'm six, I'm as clever as clever.
So, I think I'll be six now forever and ever.
adapted from A.A. Milne

Rhyming "clever" with "clever"? Brilliance! Happy Birthday Punks!
