09.03.2008 Danielle starts Gymnastics

Monkey Girl finally does it!!! As many of you already know, we call Danielle "Monkey Girl". For oh so many reasons, but namely her fondness for the Monkey Bars. She is fast, agile, fearless and above all truly a Monkey. We have tried twice to take her to the gymnastics studio to try out the summer camps available. She just was too young and not ready. But now, at 6, and for the last few months she has begged. We relented.

 

Not to mention isn't she just plain ol' adorable in the gymnastics getup? She has 2. Thanks to Karen/Ali and Jacque for the hand-me-downs that finally came in handy.

 

Stretch, stretch, stretch. They also get to play in a foam pit, work the balance beam, and her 2nd week the teacher Mr. Jamie even put her on the parallel bars. Whoo-Hooo! I think this is a sport we can do!

Not to mention, being short, petite and adorable is a PLUS in this sport!
