Last Day

Today was Livie's last day of gymnastics. You've seen me post a few times about her time there. She started in Sept and has grown so much since then! She couldn't even talk when we started. She was in the midst of speech therapy and today she was talking up a storm to everyone who would listen (and even those who weren't). In fact, she was going around saying she was Ganondorf from Zelda (Wii game), pretending to rip her chest open, and growling "I will DESTROY you!!!". Oh my gosh, it was hilarious! Here was my sweet little girl, with ribbons and glitter in her hair, growling at everyone and wanting to "destroy them". Much different from the quiet little girl I took with me that first week.


Here she is hopscotching her way to put her fruit in the basket. She picked out grapes. And, I'm very pleased to report I saw NO broccoli pieces in the basket. Yet another victory!

Here she is dancing with her ribbon in the opening part. She loves this part a lot! It's also before she turned into mean Ganondorf. That came towards the end of class.

Here she is on the bars. She got really good at holding herself up on the lower ones. That's something she's really accomplished since she started. This shortly before her doing the tumble track where Coach Nancy told her to jump straight like a crayon. That is when she began the growling. I asked her why she was growling and she said "I am a mean, blue crayon.". So, I guess when your coach tells you to jump straight like a crayon, the only way to do that is to be mean and blue.

This is a picture of her class buddies. Zach, on the end, is the only one that has been with her since Sept. We've had several kids come and go. Ava in the green shorts started just a month or so ago. Addison and Hailey started shortly after Christmas break. They are all sweet kids. As you can tell though, getting a picture with 5 2-3yr olds is not easy to do! ;-) It was a great year in gymnastics, but now it's time to move on to summer things and gear up for dance class in the fall. Fun!
