Life is busy, but beautiful. Watching Jaely give her sister a hug today as we rushed off to tumbling class was amazing. Having Camryn greet me with happy shrieks when i get home from school is awesome. The girls have colds and listening to their pathetic snoring has made me giggle, just a little. My pajama pants were covered in Cami snot as she through a fit and slid face first down my leg. It hardened into a lovely crust of white nastiness. I have loved the last two weeks of tumbling. Jaely is really impressing me with her listening and following directions. It is so neat to see her in a structured environment and i am appreciating how independent she is and how willing she is to try something new. Although she is a little bummed that they have not used the hula hoops that she has seen hanging on the wall, today they got to use the parachute. Jaely's pure joy as a smile spread across her entire face and she jumped up and down with excitement was an awesome thing to watch. I loved it! Lydia, her friend from daycare, is also in the class. Watching the two of them together is so cool. Jaely gave her a hug goodbye at the end of class and said, "see you tomorrow, friend."
Although this is a smaller trampoline than Jaely is used to, she is getting really good at counting to 10 because they get 10 jumps on it during the obstacle course route.
Being a snake on the ground. When they were elephants and Miss Joni the teacher asked what sounds elephants make, Jaely was the only one who had a sound. . . or attempted to have her elephant sound.
Okay, so this may look bad, but Jaely doesn't need me, so i don't walk around in the circle with her. I know, all the other parents are holding their child's hand, but Jaely was just fine without me, so i took pictures instead. She did want my hand when she got to the higher balance beam, but other than that, she sat on the mat without me and did the activities without me. She watched Miss Joni with such concentration. I am proud of her!
Waiting for the count of three to jump!
Counting to three with Miss Joni.
That is her friend Lydia next to her in the pink. . . best buds.
Somersault! Jaely did manage to also do a somersault down the wrong side of the wedge. Silly.
The high beam. . . towards the end she didn't even want my hand for this one.
