Gymnastics

A few months ago I took Samantha to a trial class at a local gym. Since then our little girl has become quite the gymnast. This belief has been reinforced by an invitation to an advanced class for her age group (3-5) that starts in September.

Sam loves her class so much that she asks daily if tonight is the night for gymnastics. She plays gymnastics class at home, sings the songs and comes up with her own themes for the week, following the order of her class. I help build the obstacle courses and we race through them together, which is always fun! She's obsessed with the monkey bars at Leslie's house and finally made it across them by herself, though now she has blisters on her hands! That's dedication!

Balance is something else that she's brought home from the class, meaning that if she catches herself from falling, she smiles and says, "I balanced!". I'm so proud of that kid!
