Gymnastics

Yesterday was Brooklyn's first day of gymnastics and boy, it was a trip. There was about 15 four year olds bouncing off the walls. She had two friends taking it with her and they were making sure they were right next to each other. At any given time, you'd look in the gym and see bodies jumping up and down. It was hilarious! After watching London for a couple years in this same gym, Brooklyn was ready to go. Before school, we went out to find a leotard. She found this one that had "balance" written on the chest in glittery diamonds. When I told her what it said, she said "oh, like balance beam". That was the one thing she wanted to do. So of course we had to get it, and that it had pink on it (her favorite color). When I picked her up from school she said she was a little nervous to go but she said that she knew Miss Diane (her teacher) wouldn't let her fall of the balance beam. She cracks me up. But she did well and can't wait til next week. So I guess that is a good sign for her, but not my pocket book.
