When Katie was 4/5 she and Erin took a dance class. It was through Ames Park and Rec, which is a great program for learning sports. There were all these tiny girls in adorable dancing clothes.
They learned some basic ballet moves. But mostly they twirled around and argued over whose wand was whose (the wands were props for the recital). Erin loved it. Katie was bored.
The next year she chose gymnastics, and she has never looked back.
This past year (3rd grade) she switched from the Park and Rec program to Success Gymnastics. They have a lot more equipment, and she got to learn some new things. She did great!
Do you know that feeling, when you see your children learning how to do amazing things; things that you have never in your life done? And you are proud and a little in awe of them? And it is such a happy moment? That's how we feel about Katie.

She passed her level (Level 2) and was asked to join the competetive team, XCEL. This is a beginner's level of competition. We're not sure what this will be like, and it requires 3 practices a week. She has agreed to try it for the first month, then decide if she wants to stay on the team or go back to taking gymnsatics just for fun.
Doesn't this look fun?
Who knows what she will be doing next!
How fun! She looks like she will do amazing things!
