gymnnnnastics!

so we started "gymnastics" tonight. it was so fun (i am a dork!)! olivia did great, only one major meltdown. she seemed to have a great time. todd took some great pictures and helped olivia at times, too. i think her favorite part was the backward roll and jumping on the blue mat. she was completely fearless (shocker!) and really did seem to have fun and boy was she tired! it is 45 mins....45 mins. well spent. i cannot wait to go back next week. i hope she'll cooperate the way she did tonight. it was kind of surreal b/c i took gymnastics for so long when i was younger until a back injury and i cannot describe what it was like to be there in that environment again, but with my daughter (sorry, a little sentiment). i love when her face lights up with a smile! there is something so genuine and innocent about children. they smile when they truly are happy b/c they don't know how to fake it - at least not yet any way and they laugh when something is truly funny, again b/c they don't know how to fake it...if it isn't funny, they don't laugh. : ) olivia was smiling a lot tonight and laughing a lot tonight which lets me know she enjoyed herself, as did her mommy and even daddy! todd found it quite humorous watching a bunch of 2 year olds, and our 17 mos. old, running around in "tards" (as i call the leotards) and diapers, playing and having so much fun. what a fun night and memory.
