gymnastics

I signed the girls up for gymnastics last week.  We had our trial day, and it was so much fun!  Luckily the girls have class at the same time, especially since I have to assist Anna Claire.  It was nice because I didn't get a lot of one on one time with Anna Claire.  They were really excited about going back the next week.  I am a terrible mother and did not get a single picture of their first day of gymnastics.  It was a crazy morning though and I was just hoping to actually make it on time!

Anna Claire wanted to "fix" her hair herself.  I wish I took a picture before this one.  She had double headbands and looked like a true 80's child.  As much as this girl loves to wear headbands, and they way that she wears them, she definitely missed her decade!

Gymnastics is exhausting!  Have to stop and take a little break!

A quick blurry shot of Amelia while I have my phone out.  

Today was our third week of gymnastics.  I was so proud of Anna Claire.  She has made so much progress in 3 weeks.  Last week, I was having to hold her up for everything.  I was even thinking that I may have made a mistake by starting her so early, but this week she needed very little assistance.  Amelia loves gymnastics, but I don't think it will be her calling.  She wants to be a ballerina so bad.  Maybe next year she can try that out and see what she thinks.  I think gymnastics is good for building their strength.  She's enjoying it, and she does a great job.  I must brag a little on her too.  Our trial day, they were suppose to both be in the same class.  3 year olds have to test to move to the next class.  But, since she is almost 4 they went ahead and moved her up.  I was so glad because that seemed like a lot of work for me having to assist the both of them.  But, Amelia did so good listening and following directions.  I know she was new and once she warms up she will probably not be so good at following directions, but that day all the other kids were kind of in their own world but Amelia was paying attention and following instructions.  I know she will someday be the teacher's pet, and I am ok with that!
