Our Little Gymnast

Millie started gymnastics in August.  I feel like we only have time for one extracurricular activity per child, so I gave Mills a choice: dance or gymnastics.  I asked her every day for a month.  She always chose gymnastics because she so badly wants to learn how to do a cartwheel.  Thus, our big girl started gymnastics at Hopes and Dreams.  Isn't that the best name ever?!  I need to find Mills a leotard with a unicorn on it.

I wasn't sure what they were supposed to wear there.  The first day I sent her in this.  Fail.  BTW, she was sort of pissed that she couldn't do a cartwheel on her own by the time we left there.  That's our girl.

EVERYONE in the building wears a leotard, so the next week Mills got to pick one out.  She picked blue velour, which was a bit strange since a pink one was right next to it.  

Pretty cute, huh??  She's been working on her posing. ;)  Video: Mills first gymnastics class

It's been a bit of a struggle for Syd.  She soooo badly wants to go out there with Mills.  It never occurred to me that she would care.  She's usually so good about these things.  I guess now that she's getting older, she wants to go with the big girls.  Poor Piddy.  She starts back at Little Gym this week though.  In the meantime, the iPad saves our life.  Check out how well she's doing with her the iPad games...Video: Piddy plays the Pad  I love listening to her talk.  Speaking of...this has nothing to do with gymnastics, but this video might just be the funniest thing of this summer.  There was a good two weeks that they both had diarrhea from some stomach bug.  It was the talk of the house for awhile.  Ugh.  Video: Syd took her diarrhea
