The Eye of the Tiger

We all know the song:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival-
Our little Kaylee is a perfectionist (like me) and also very shy (like I used to be). When she was 2, she would stop coloring with me because I was better than her. I would try to explain to her that I had been coloring for over 20 years, but that did not matter. All she saw was someone better than her. She is now 6 and things aren't any better. She hates all of the attention on her and when other people do things that she can't, she doesn't like to try. Well, the other day after Kaylee had decided she wasn't good at anything and everyone was better than her, Warren taught her this song. Since that night, she listens to it on Warren's IPOD all of the time. When she was asked by her gymnasitics coach to spot something while flipping over the parallel bars, she told him she would have the eye of the tiger. He smiled and gave her a high five.
After talking to Kaylee, Warren decided to get all of the girls best "eye of the tiger" poses. Here are a few:





Nicole kept cracking us up trying to immitate what we were doing

Kim, That is hilarious. Definitely a story to pull out when she is older. She will be mortified.
