Nastics

Let it be known, Addison has dreamed about this day for years.....(possibly all two of her years). She is an avid "Nastics" (gymnastics) fan. Whether it's doing "summasolts" all over the living room, or posing with the professionals on T.V. she's there. It's equal parts cute and hilarious as she has some pretty interesting and creative moves.

Of course, being her loving Mommy, I took it as my personal mission to find her a nastics class pronto. Three months later, we FINALLY succeeded. Apparently 3 years old is the magical age of nastics enrollment. What few classes they did have for 2 year olds, were already full. I was put on lots of waiting lists and nothing happened. Then alas, the heavens parted and I got a coupon emailed to me from my coupon club. Four gymnastics classes for $22! What a steal! Especially considering at this point I would have easily paid a hundred just to get her in one. Granted the center was 3 towns away and required some finagling on our part to make it happen but it was worth all the sacrifice. So, after packing up the kids and dinner, we picked up Daddy from work and were on our way to Springdale. Daddy had to hang out w/Jonas since it was a "Mommy & Me" class. But of course, Daddy had his turn at being her assistant at her 2nd class. And as luck would have it, the day I enroll her in our trial run of Gymnastics, the other place closer to our house calls and says they are starting a class for 2 year olds. I was sooo tempted to put her in both but after realizing she was a bit young to start training for the olympics with multiple classes, we let the 2nd offer pass. Now lets hope the other center calls after our trial run expires. I'm not sure what this girl will do without her nastics!

Practicing the bar. She's surprisingly good at this one!

A very sweaty and happy girly makes a very happy Momma!
