After trying not so successfully last year at a gymnastics class, we are giving it a go again, this time organized through her preschool. Over the 4th of July, we watched the local parade, and when the gymnastics troupes twirled, flipped, and walked by on their hands, she was drawn out into the road, attempting to mimic all those cool moves she was witnessing. She had all the people around us rolling with laughter.
Although slightly better equipped (after all, no power-struggles with Mommy are necessary this time), Eva still has the hardest time amongst the group paying attention for long periods of time. She loves the moving part, but sitting patiently for long periods of talking and directions....not so much! Of course anyone who knows her already knows this about her!! I figure it is good that she get as many opportunities to practice, as school is not too far off and a lot of that will be expected of her! I often say that it is very good that she has an amazing memory, as that helps counter her inability to sit and process for long periods of time!
She did great today, and I am sure will continue to be successful as the activity increases and the talking decreases!
