Tumbling 101

Little Miss has often mentioned

that she wanted to take gymnastics...

especially after watching the summer

Olympics!  We told her she needed

to choose between dance and tumbling

since she's still so young and tires

easily.  It was such a tough decision,

 but she chose to try out tumbling

with her sweet friend Ella Kate...

They certainly made adorable gymnasts!!!

Ella Kate's mommy and I could hardly

contain ourselves at their first lesson.

It was too funny (for us!)...

our sweet girls couldn't do much,

Hadlee wouldn't stop looking at me

through the window for a thumbs up

and everyone else in the class was

ready for the next Olympics!!!;(

Sweet Pea was trying so hard!!!

One of my precious senior girls just

happened to be Hadlee's teacher.

Hadlee attached herself to Miss Haley

and wouldn't let go!!!  

After a month of gymnastics and some

uncertainty, both Ella Kate and Hadlee

decided they weren't too sure if this

is what they wanted to do.

Hadlee missed dance A LOT

and especially Mrs. Emily.  We missed

the structure of dance...plus

Miss Haley changed jobs!

SOOOOOOO now it's back to dance

and Miss Haley will be giving

Hadlee some private lessons here

and there!;)  We must learn to land

that cartwheel and round off!!!

Until then it's nice that we

have an indoor gym apparently...

And a little coach to supervise;)

Gotta get that split jump down!!!  ha!

Luckily, this guy already has some moves;)

 

Hadlee and Walker both had writing assignments

for school to write about a community helper.

Walker wrote about Dr. Graham.

Hadlee wrote about Haley!!!

I thought it was so sweet!  I read it

and showed it to my entire senior class:)

 

Last week it was back to tap and ballet...

and our little princess was so excited!

Mrs. Emily wasn't suprised at all

that Hadlee returned to dance.

She says Hadlee is a dancer at heart:)

"Above all else,

guard your heart,

for everything you do

flows from it."

Proverbs 4:23
