Scaring Your Momma

This little girl is too brave for me to watch sometimes.  I feel like I tell her to be careful a million times on certain days. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a long, hard day of doing gymnastics stunts and skipping or hopping everywhere, this is my precious sleeping girl. 

 

 

 



 

Gymnastics Day 1

On our way out the door to go to her first day of gymnastics class:

Me:  I need to get my camera so I can take pictures of you to show Daddy.

Lilly:  No, Mommy, I don't want you to take any pictures of me. I just want you to drop me off and go somewhere else.

Me:  What?!  I want to watch you and see what you're learning and your Daddy wants to see pictures of you on your first day since he can't be here to see you.

Lilly:  Well, you can take pictures if you want, but I'm not going to look. 

 

Gymnastics

Before summer began, my husband and I talked about wanting Lilly to involved with some physical activity once the school year began.  We looked into several programs and narrowed it down to soccer or gymnastics.  Both sports had equal number of pros and cons on our list, so I took the decision to my daughter.  She immediately decided on gymnastics. 

In the past month or so, I have signed her up for the class and even though she didn't have to have it to take the class, we bought her a gymnast leotard.  She loves the leotard and is super excited to start her class - we are counting down the days.

I am praying she will love the class.  I have one little concern though and it is that Lilly thinks she is already supposed to know all the moves before she gets to the class.  I am hoping that she doesn't get frustrated if she can't do a certain more, but we have talked about it often so prayerfully, that will not be the case.  Even if she does get frustrated, I know this class is going to be a lesson in perseverance - sticking with it. 

Here are a few pictures of my sweet girl showing off her leotard:
