Emma...the gymnast





Have I mentioned before that Emma is taking gymnastics at the Y? Every Wednesday morning, she puts on her little leotard, and we go to her class. She does all of the events (except vault, of course!). She loves the balance beam (because she gets to twirl ribbons while she does it), and she loves crawling around on the floor over and through all of the obstacles. She is getting very strong, too, from all of her hanging on the bars and the beam. This summer, we are going to put Matt in a parent/child gymnastics class, too. Emma did that last fall, and has moved up to pre-school gymnastics. Man, do you remember playing gymnastics as little kids? Especially you, Sara Lee Pie...we ALWAYS scored 10 on every event (especially the balance beam in my basement!), and we always wanted to be Mary Lou Retton. Fun times... (oh, sorry about the crooked picture)
