Gymnastics Finale


Today was Maddie's end of the year gymnastics show. Unfortunately, because of continued illnesses in the house, we were not all able to attend but Big A did a stellar job capturing it all on video for us (there were definitely some Pop Milani moments to the video that brought a huge smile to my face and good storytelling to my little ones).

Maddie started gymnastics last September and was definitely improving her negotiating skills each time she explained to her teacher why she shouldn't or couldn't do some of the things she was being asked to do.... going on the highbeam, doing a backward flip on the bars etc.. Fortunately for Maddie her teacher didn't buy into any of it and after months of practice, Maddie is able to go on the highbeam with ease and even do some fancy tricks on it with her teacher by her side. This little girl has made tremendous improvements this year and has boosted her confidence sky high. She cannot wait for the next session to start. We are all very proud of her!!

Unfortunately, Chlo-Bear was not able to participate in her show last night because she is still fighting off this horrible bug she has had. We have had a rough week in the house with illnesses and hope that everyone is 100% soon.

XXOOXXO to all!
