For Eleanor's birthday in March my parents bought her a series of gymnastics lessons. She has had SO much fun doing them over the past 9 weeks or so! And I have had a lot of fun watching her interact with the other kids; listen well to her teachers and follow directions; use her imagination (which can be quite vivid!); and learn to forward roll, backwards
roll, monkey jump, donkey kick, swing on the bars, and walk on the balance beam with the best of 'em! *grin* Her little class was seriously so much fun to watch. She recently had her show week, the end of the semester of classes. She came out and stood bravely in front of everyone and said her name and did her favorite trick (monkey jump - you'll see it in one of the pictures!), and the show began! At the end there was a little ceremony with music and the kids got medals and it was SO CUTE I can't even tell you. I was one proud mommy! The instructor told the kids to smile when they got up on the podium, and she pointed to her mouth to show them...so in the picture, you can see Eleanor pointing at her mouth, just as demonstrated!
