Jenn thinks you guys might not realize the sarcasm here

Rest assured, I do actually recognize that the ability to put ones foot above ones head is special.

Jenn hasn't seen the playground trick yet, but she gasped in amazement at the video I took of Ana climbing a wall taller than her head. As in, she has to stand on tippytoe just to reach the top.

No footholds. No handholds. Just a cement wall, and a rail along the top of it.

It's actually easier than the playground climbing, because she doesn't have to be flexible or anything. All she has to do is jump, grab the railing, and then scramble up somehow while holding on for dear life.

It's easy because you don't need much upper arm strength to lift only 35 pounds, even when those 35 pounds are *you*.

That is pretty cool. Maelle is going to be able to do that kind of thing in no time. Kira seems to be much more physically conservative/cautious and I bet she'll just about never get an injury worse than a bumped head or skinned knee.

I don't know. If she sees her sister - or friends - doing this sort of thing, she might pick it up through osmosis.
