Singing Spinning Split

K-bao's latest obsession is doing cartwheels and the splits. At all hours on the day, and in all places - the soccer field, the living room, the playground - she can be found generally in one of these two positions. Ideally, she combines the two moves so that she first cartwheels and then goes directly down into the splits.

Even more heavenly for K-bao, of course, is to combine these gymnastics moves with her other passion, theatrical singing. In the below video, for example, the K-grandfolks observe K-bao leading her sister in Rachel Platten's Fight Song, all while doing the splits.



K-Pop's friends in Taiwan also got to see this up close and personal. When the family went down to Hsinchu to visit K-Pop's old high school, the National Experimental High School, K-bao quickly found the small theater room and helped herself to the stage. K-Pop's friends who stopped by to say hello were treated to an impromptu performance. No shyness here!

Gymnast

K-bao has always enjoyed gymnastics, but over the past couple of years as we've been forced to prioritize among the never ending stream of activities, gymnastics has gotten the proverbial short end of the activity stick.

This summer we enrolled her in a series of summer camps, and one of them was a week-long program at the JCC that included, among other things, dancing, somersaulting, tumbling and the like. What did that mean for the ever-active, hyper-energetic, kinetically motivated K-bao? Pure joy!

Below are some action shots, as well as a video of a ring routine.
