Margaret also loves going to her gymnastics class. She loves the swinging and tumbling and jumping, but her favorite part just might be that her teacher, Sylvie, has some of her hair dyed pink. She talks about Miss Sylvie all the time. Sylvie is the tall girl here in the video. The other teacher is Sonja and I think they might be sisters. At the beginning of class all the kids stand in line and get put into groups. Maggie's been with Sylvie all four times and I'm worried she'll be heart broken if she gets into someone else's group. (A little part of me thinks that Sylvie secretly picks Maggie's group because she likes Maggie as much as Maggie likes her!! I mean, come on, Maggie's great!)
Mags is best at the vault. You can hear Sonja say, "That's the best one I've seen all day!" after Maggie's third vault. It's awesome. However, she's too timid to let go of her teacher on the high beam. I'm thinking we need to set up a balance beam here in the house so she can get used to the idea. Surely there's room in here somewhere for a high beam, right?? It's a little bit (extremely) cacophonous in the gym, but you can hear Maggie say, "Taa Daa" after almost every thing she does.
The little girl in the half colorful, half black leotard is Anja. She and Maggie are gym friends. They've been in the same group almost every time. In this video Anja was a little wound up. The girl in the purple long sleeved leotard is Hannah. Last week was her first week and she doesn't really seem too interested in the finer points of gymnastics. But she's very enthusiastic! The three of them share crayons while they wait for the 3-year-olds to finish class before them and they stick together. I think it will be interesting to see how they get better over the next few months and I wonder if they'll become friends enough to request play dates. I could certainly use a few play dates now and then!
