The one with Brooklyn in the gymnastics meet.

Brooklyn has been taking a little gymnastics class at our local community center and loving it! A couple weeks ago, a gym where her coach coaches hosted a little gymnastics "meet" for the preschool age kids. She had a blast! Brooklyn definitely has a natural ability. I find myself needing to reign in my competitive edge with her in gymnastics. I have "stage mom" qualities coming out that I never knew existed!! When she is in her class, I find myself day-dreaming of her competing in gymnastics and going all the way!! lol I also have to zip my lip when I see something she is doing incorrectly in her class and not correct her (because her coach will, and I shouldn't get involved right? Right?!). I like to think that it is just because I have a little gymnastics background that I do this (and kind of know what I am doing in the sport), but I have a feeling I will be like this with all sports/activities with my kids, no matter my experience in the activity. It's in my nature! So... stage-mom, here I come!


Brooklyn has since learned to get into kip position and do a full hip circle all by herself!






I love this picture...It reminds me of the many my mom and dad have of me waiting to get a ribbon or medal. And I know they have hundreds more of my other sisters. So fun!

Ta-da! "1st" place! ;)

What a cutie!!! And yes, "stage mom" runs in the family! I do it with Patrice in volleyball, cuz I have watched a few games when Melanie played! Sigh!

I too was surprised at the stage mom in myself. It is nearly impossible to sit and watch and not get in there and critique in Addie's classes, and I dont even know much about dance or gymnastics! I'm glad that brooklyn is having so much fun and doing so well!
