Gymnastics Ribbons

Today Maddie and Benj were able to participate in a little gymnastics program put on for the families. They received ribbons at the end and were thrilled.











The mischeivous smile!

It's hard to get good pictures as they are usually facing away from the camera. Benj and Maddie both did really well in their class today.

Gymnastics

Well, since Maddie was in ballet, and her class was full, Benj wanted to be in a class. So, we found a gymnastics class. Benjamin has such upper body strength for a little kid. I think the bars are a perfect match for my little Benjamin. They have a class for 3-4 year olds, so I thought I would enroll both Benj and Maddie in it rather than having to wrangle with both Maddie and Dylan while we watched Benjamin. Well, of course that upset little Benjamin. He wants to be in a class that Maddie is not in. He told me all the way to the class. Then of course, my older two kids are off track. So, when we went to the gym, they wanted to know why they couldn't take gymnastics. So, we looked into it, but the two times available are not good times for the family. So, now I have promised to look into Tae Kwon Do for the three oldest boys. Wow, five kids, trying to juggle all the lessons, have fairness, make everyone happy, and deal with time constraints. A challenge. We shall see what happens. It always makes life interesting.
