Harlow is a gymnast

Harlow started gymnastics this week, and as expected, she loved it! I knew she would, but I was a little worried about how well, or not well, she'd listen to direction and wait her turn. All in all, I was impressed. She tried to run off and join the big girls team a couple times, but otherwise, took her turn and waited in line pretty patiently. The coach made several comments about her strength. Especially on the bars. The coach was prepared to lift Harlow up, and when she realized she didn't need much help, I think her eyes about popped out of her head as she said, "My goodness she is strong!". I replied with, "We know!". Finally, this girl has an actual sport to put her freakish strength and ability to climb on things to good use! And it's so fun to watch her! She would look up to the balcony for Daddy and brother's applause many times, even yelling for them to watch her, making sure they were paying attention.
Listening intently to the coach.
Practicing pointing and flexing those toes.
Getting ready to race her "ladybugs" out to the middle.
Great stretching.
