Not only did Lily Kate recently start "school" she also started her first gymnastics class at the Little Gym. I have never seen anything cuter than a toddler in a leotard and leg warmers. Oh my word! There are 5 other kiddos in Lily's class. In typical Lily fashion she is so shy around her teacher that she won't hardly look her in the eye. Miss Holly laughs it off and gives her some space although I know she is hoping to win Lily over sooner rather than later. Lily will do any skill she is taught if I am the one helping her. So funny! By far her favorite time of class is free time. During free time the kids are able to run and play and do anything they wish. Lily loves 3 things at the gym....the bars, the rings and the balance beam! And she is pretty good for an almost 2 year old. Having no fear helps her out of course but I think there is some skill there too. She literally leaps from the mat up onto the rings/bar and swings there until she cannot hang on any longer. And then she does it again! The balance beam....wow. Sister climbs up there and pushes my hand away and run/walks down to the other end. Every now and then she will hold on to one of my fingers (only one) while on the higher beam but even then she runs. I love watching her grown and develop into a little girl. And I really love seeing how much she is capable of and how confident she is becoming. Being her mama is such a blessing!
