I’m getting bad at keeping this blog updated. Just not enough time in the day I guess…or maybe I just forget. I’ll post a big update soon. I promise.

Anna did a flip over the bar at gymnastics today all by herself!  Wish I had video, but I snapped two pics while she was doing it: It’s amazing to see the progress since she started in April, about two and a half months ago.  She wouldn’t push up on the bar at all when [...]

See this photo? (It’s not great, I know. I took it with my cell phone and had to zoom in which brought the quality WAY down.) Anyway, I took this pic and she saw me take it. She went back around through the obstacle course that was setup and climbed back up on the vaulting [...]

Anna had her last gymnastics class in her Preschool 1 class this past Tuesday and will start Preschool 2 on Monday.  Here is some video of her class…it’s not terribly exciting, but I found it hilarious towards then end when the little girl who went before Anna on the higher bar dropped down off of [...]

Here’s a video from Anna’s t-ball game this past weekend. It was her 3rd game and the best so far. She ran every time (though one time she tried to run past 3rd to go to Grandma who was videoing) and did great hitting the ball. She even caught some balls (ok, well she ran [...]

Here’s two new Anna’isms from today: Anna: Mommy, you’re hot! Me: What do you mean? Why am I hot? (…as I wonder where she could have possibly heard that phrase from..) Anna: Cuz you were in the heater. …mmhmm… We were in the bathroom brushing her teeth before bed and she has two cups that [...]

Anna has been doing SO GREAT in her gymnastics class.  She listens and does what the teacher tells her.  It amazes me since she’s always had a hard time listening and doing what she’s supposed to in every other activity she’s done.  I’m so proud of her!  She’s really picking up on things too and [...]

Check out Anna’s handstand!  Not bad, eh?  (They teach a beginning handstand at gymnastics by having the kids “climb the wall” with their feet.)

I’ve recently started making hairbows for Anna. It’s interesting to see my progression from the first hairbow I made (which I don’t have a picture of) to the ones I’m making now. I think I’m getting pretty good. I don’t think I’ll ever make any to sell, but I do enjoy making them for her…and [...]

Anna was talking about how I needed to stay on the couch when she falls asleep so that the monsters wouldn’t get me and since she was being so animated I grabbed my phone and took this video.  She talked about a whole bunch of other random stuff too.  When she started talking about the [...]
