Amelia got very brave with gymnastics this fall. All of a sudden she was walking on the high balance beam by herself, swinging on the bars without assistance, jumping on the big trampoline by herself, even jumping to the bars from a block and doing a beautiful swing after catching the bar. Her favorite though was jumping into the pit from the high horse. She would beg to keep jumping and tire herself out every class.
I was very proud of my big girl and all of the skills she developed. Although she loved gymnastics we had to take a break at the end of December. She really could have progressed to the next class but because of her age there wasn't a class available. We are also so busy during the week that I needed to cut out some things so we could slow down a little bit.
I told her we would do homeschool instead which she has been thrilled about. In fact she has been begging me to do school with her the instant she wakes up in the morning. Our library has awesome boxes put together all designed around different themes. They have books, finger plays, games, and felt board items. For now we'll work through those and keep working at her letters and numbers.
