Gymnastics

Ella went to her first gymnastics class today. Well, her second. We tried it out once when she was 15 months, but she didn't really get it as she was a bit to young. Today was so much fun. She loved to watch the other kids in circle time and kept repeating her new word/phrase, "funny/it's funny." After a couple of rounds on the balance beams circuit and a couple goes at the spring boards and mat circuit, there was about 15 minutes of free time. Ella was all over the place, the rock wall, the trampoline, monkey bars... I officially signed her up for the class. Granted it's as much work for me as it is fun for Ella as I have to be with her at all times. I ended up with a bit of a workout running around after her, lifting, bouncing, and swinging her.

We've signed Lahrissa up for the next age level which they do with the coaches but was only able to get her in on Wednesdays for now. Our friend, Carrie is going to the hospital to have her second baby tomorrow so they are dropping off Lukas for the next day or so. Tomorrow should be fun. :( I'll have both Ella and Lukas in tow for Lahrissa's gymnastics class and I have a feeling I'll be fielding a few melt downs. How to explain to a toddler that though she could play all she wanted with the kids yesterday, she can't today as it's La-la's turn. Say a little prayer for me. :)
