Gymnastics

Kate has started gymnastics with her friends Caroline, Luke, Ethan, Laiken and Noah. She gets sad when I hand her over to Miss Michelle, but gets over the sadness quickly due to a giraffe bounce-house. The parents watch the kids on a t.v. in the waiting area. This actually works out great because I get to "watch" Kate, but I also get to visit with my friends without having to "watch" Kate!

Let me just say that I cannot imagine teaching toddlers. They are all over the place and I find it a miracle that Miss Michelle is able to teach any kind of lesson, but she does and it's so cute. Kate has learned her first trick...a somersault. (I'll get it on video and post it soon) She's quite good at them and practices daily in her room. She also loves when Miss Michelle gets out the sticks and they bang them together, I'm assuming to some music but I can't hear what's going on. I'm just waiting for the day that Kate takes a notion to bang one of her friends upside the head, which would definitely fit Kate's personality! For now though, she loves it and loves playing with her friends, and she and Caroline even have matching leotards! Could life get any better?!
