Big Girl

Ella had "big girl" gymnastics today and LOVED it! I was actually RATHER shocked! We talked up big girl gymnastics several days in advance so that she wouldn't be upset going in there by herself (we used to go to a parent & tot class that I had to go in and do with her). She walked right in with the teacher and did very well at minding and doing what she was asked! She spotted me (behind the glass) at one point and just waved :) When they were warming up, Ella just sat there and starred at all kids, haha! She usually will do all the warm up exercises, but I think she was just confused as to what was going on! I don't think she particularly likes being about a bunch of wild kids (if we go to parks or places with lots of kids, she just clings to me:). I am glad we go in the morning because there are only a handful of kids and at night there are like 50 in there at once! Anyways, she didn't cry a single time until Miss Sarah made her do her second front flip. Haha I do not know why, but she does NOT like to do front flips! She turned and looked at me and started crying with her hands over her face! It was so sad :( Immediately after she started crying, another girl started like beating up this other little kid, so that caught Ella's attention and she completely forgot about the front flip! Thank goodness! After that, they went and jumped in the foam pit and then she practiced back flips and never cried a single tear! When we left, I asked her why she cried and she said "I cried like Daddy, whaa whaa"... haha we have a running joke in the house that Mommy goes "no no no" and Daddy goes "whaa whaa whaa". She definitely made me laugh out loud! She told Chance when he got home that she did NOT like front flips! Hopefully I can get more pictures of her next week! This was on my phone while they were stretching...the glare didn't help me any!

I wish

I wish they would let me photograph them more often!
