Gymnastics

Well, Parker has officially started gymnastics! It was actually really hard for me to put her in it. I'm torn, I loved gymnastics but I also know how extremely hard it was on my body and how difficult it becomes once you become an upper level gymnast (really, any upper level athlete) and I'm just not sure that is something I want our family to get into. I know it's weird to think of these things when my daughter is 2, but this was exactly how I started out. After fighting it for awhile, we finally put her in a mommy and me class and she LOVES it! We go once a week for 45 min and this past week she threw a massive fit when it was time to leave. For now I am just enjoying the ride and enjoying spending time with her and watching her become excited about something that is her own. The rest will come later. Here is her "I'm ready" face


So far she has loved everything, except the stretching at the beginning - so much like her mom it's a little scary. She love to hang on the bars, run across the balance beam, jump (and fall down) all over the trampoline and play in the pit. So, this is where you will find us tuesday mornings while Hudson is at school

Love these pics, she looks happy and focused in class. It's cool to see that your 2 year old is so pumped about something so early in life. Although, like you said, you might not want to let her take it to the next level. Put her in soccer too!

Erin, you are a wonderful mom & it is a joy to see follow Hudson and Parker's atheletic ability as they grow. Doesn't surprise me of Parker's love of the bars and stepping into your shoes. You are unique ;) xoxo
