We finally signed Annika up for gymnastics. When we signed her up, one of the coaches had to test her to see where she was at. After they were done, they told us how impressed they were with her.They couldn't believe how well she could do a cartwheel and a roundoff for her age. They were also amazed by her strength. They asked us if they could put her in an intermediate level 2 class. They told us that she would be with 9 and 10 year olds, and when she turned 6 she would start competing. We agreed, but told them if it was too overwhelming for her, we would have to change it. She loves it! Last week she climbed a rope that was hanging from the ceiling, I think both Ryan and I were biting our nails as she accomplished this task. She is very strong, coordinated, and fast. We are so grateful she is healthy, athletic, and outgoing.
Micah is really into super heroes right now. He has the hulk, spiderman, ironman,and batman figurines that are about 3 inches tall. Ask me how many times a day we are looking for them?:) Ryan is busy with school, but seems to be more relaxed this year. He has been working on our fireplace, putting rock on it. It looks really cool, he is nearly done and he is doing an amazing job!
