Gymnastics! We've gone the last couple of week... it's so fun to see the ways Anni has grown and gotten more confident since we began going (as long as no one is looking at her!) I suppose this isn't technically complete as we'll keep going, but we have gone several time and are definitely enjoying it. Today was a sad day at gymnastics; though, as it was the last time we got to see our friends before they move off to North Dakota. It's a great move for them (nearer to home and family!), but Anni is definitely going to miss her friend (they are only a month apart and have had a blast playing over the last year) and I'm going to miss mine! I may have sniffled a little as I watched our girls hold hands and say good-bye one last time after class today.
On a happier note, this also happened today:
I had been trying to convince her to try it out, and our friend and a few little girls showed her how, but she steadfastly lowered her head and refused to try. I reminded myself to step back and let her figure things out for herself, and a few minutes later when we weren't really watching, she went straight to the bar and started swinging like a little monkey.
Celebration dancing followed:
