My little three year old Autumn is now a gymnast. She started a program that is called gym-n-dance at our Recreation Center here in town and now is a dancin', and cartwheelin' fool! There is thirty minutes of this that is devoted just to dance. The first half of the dance class is tap dance and different manuevers and the second half of the dance class is ballet, which Autumn just cannot get enough of. She loves wearing her little ballet slippers and jumping and spinning all over the place. The first day of this she was so excited and could not wait to get away from mommy and daddy and then about fifteen minutes into the class out came miss Autumn with her teacher saying she was scared. My heart just melted. So I walked her back to her class and did the stuff with her. She whispered in my ear "I thought I was doing gymnastics" I then explained that first she does ballet and then she does gymnastics. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed "ballet just like Angelina Ballerina!?!?! (A cartoon mouse that does ballet). I said thats it and then she was gone again telling me to leave the class that it was just for girls and not moms. Ouch! Then the second half of the class is all gymnastics. They do tampoline and tumbling and watching all those little preschoolers is the cutest and funniest thing I have ever seen. They all try so hard and they are all popping their little bums in the air trying to flip over and raising their hands over their head with such enthusiasm when they have landed a move! Autumn absolutely loves it, she is getting so many new friends and learning so much just like her awesome nieces Calli and Cienna! And at the end of it all, she finds it "awesome" to get a stamp on her hand and a treat for her hard work!
That would be crazy if Calli and Cienna were her neices. ;) Hehehe!
