Ella goes to gymnastics















Wow, i am starting a pattern here. Sounds like a line of children books. Ella this, Ella that. None the less, today was all about Ella. At least she thought so. We signed her up to start gymnastics last Friday and so that of course meant she would have to get sick Thursday night. Bad for her...worse for me. I attempted to allow her to go for a glimpse and turn in her registration but no chance at participating (i have a "no fun with a fever" policy). I must also say that since jack and Ella are attached at the hip...he too was sick. On our way to check out the gymnastics place, we stop for lunch. The one place they thought they could eat...also the only restaurant in their vocabulary....McDonald's! As i begin to place the order Jack throws up on Ella. She was okay for a moment only to then throw up twice. Jack had one more go as we were almost home so the trip for registration and a sneak peek was a no go. One week later we were all eager to see the class. We were there 7 minutes EARLY! Yes, that is a big deal. We had time to do a little shopping even though we were fully prepared and it was not necessary. We are girls, what can i say? Now that class is starting she is totally ready, new outfit and all. She had a wonderful time. Jumps into the foam pit, bounces on the trampolines, swinging on the rings and a rope, forward flips down a ramp, backward flips over a circle and walking up a wall to a partial hand stand. Too much for one little girl to take in at one time. Eric, who will be referred to as daddy occasionally, did get to come for the last part of the class. Her face was priceless when she saw that he was there. She is so excited about going back. Jack, however, is not as excited. He cried as she went in because he couldn't go. That leads us into looking into a class for him. Other than that Jack and John ate. I met a few nice ladies. One is due with her third on March the 11th. She is like 3 times bigger than i am. I mean in the belly. I hope she is having twins. Then we grabbed a bite of lunch with Eric which is always nice and headed home for my favorite time of day...NAPS! Have a wonderful weekend!





Note: I know the pictures are not that great but i had to take them through glass. The boys felt a little left out so i snapped a few pictures of them too!

Go Ella go! I love you're new outfit and always knew you the skills of a jungle cat, which are necessary for gymnastics. You look great and I am so glad you had a great time. Jack and John, don't worry little men, I am positive mommy will find something for you both to do and you'll be as equally awesome at whatever that turns out to be as Ella is at gymnastics. Love you bunches and bunches! Aunt Kimmie
