This is my first week participating in Cecily’s Photo Story Friday, but since I have been enjoying doing Lolli’s Give Me Your Best Shot (off and on) for a while, I thought I’d join in.
Ivy decided that she really wanted to start taking gymnastics (along with dance). Fortunately there was an opening during Jade’s class and we were able to get her in. This Tuesday was her first day and it was hilarious. Oh wait, did I just type that in a public forum? Oops. Well, it was. Any time she got a chance to pose or wave, she took it. The other mom’s were laughing and commenting. What can I say, she’s happy in front of a camera.
The coach said she did really well. I guess “well” is all based on expectations. Since Jade started gymnastics a year earlier than Ivy and started doing somersaults two years before Ivy could, we get caught in the comparing one’s strengths to the other’s weaknesses. (Something for us to work on- because we’re still working towards perfection).
A delightful smile and a wave. Followed by an upside down grin.
A funny little smirk from a funny little girl. With a climbing finale for her first day at gymnastics.
Hosted by Cecily and Kelli

I’m so glad you like the blog, thanks for coming by. My husband and I have really been working on finding balance and came up with the idea that it is a trifecta that we are after. So, from there the idea evolved into this 🙂

What a little “ham.” It sure looks like gymnastics is going to be quite the success for her.
She looks like she’s having a ball! How fun, and great pics!
So cute! It looks like she’s loving it and you got some great pics!
What great pictures and such a fun way to document her first day. She is ADORABLE (what hair! My girls won’t have that much hair…well, ever)!! She looks right at home in the gym!
Thanks for joining us for PSF this week!

I am stumped over the button not working. It seems to add “” when copied. But thanks for adding a link. 🙂
I LOVE all the different looks on her face in these pictures. Looks like such fun!
