A special gift for Naomi
Her first year of gymnastics - chalk on her hands, a cartwheel across the mat and two arms up at the end
Cartwheel Naomi
Cartwheel Naomi
Playful
Bright and bouncy, with a beat to move to.
Free to keep
Naomi chalks her handsAnd runs across the matTwo feet up in the airAnd down she comes like thatGo Naomi cartwheel roundHands down and feet up highBouncy bouncy stick the landTwo arms up to the skyThe bar is up so highShe swings and lets it goHer ponytail flies upAnd tickles her big toeGo Naomi cartwheel roundHands down and feet up highBouncy bouncy stick the landTwo arms up to the skyChalk dust on her noseGrass stains on her kneeNaomi counts her stepsThen flies for one two threeGo Naomi cartwheel roundHands down and feet up highBouncy bouncy stick the landTwo arms up to the sky
Playful

The story behind this song
Chalk dust on her hands, one determined cartwheel across the mat, and both arms thrown up at the end like she'd landed it perfectly.
Why this moment matters
There's a particular pride in a first real cartwheel that has nothing to do with how good it actually looked.
