Gymnastics Week 2

This week in gymnastics class they focused on the Vault. They practiced different ways of jumping, like the tuck jump, the straddle jump, and a spin jump. Then they got to run and jump up over the vault. Emily really enjoyed all the hopping and bouncing and hasn't stopped all week, despite our protests.

My little gymnast

Emily started taking Gymnastics classes again. In addition to the cartwheels and somersaults that they practice, every Monday she will get to try out a different apparatus. This week was her first week and she learned about the Uneven Bars. She got to swing from both the low and high bars and also practice a flip on it. She had a blast!

Sunday Fun

Here is what we do on Sunday afternoons to have fun. We push each other in the computer chair. Each one of us got a turn being pushed and spun. And Megan really enjoyed pushing her sister.

Forts

We built a giant fort in the living room and covered the ends with blankets. We found that both Emily and Megan love to crawl through tunnels and peek out at us. The girls spent hours playing peek-a-boo and chasing each other through the fort.

Walking

Megan has learned how to walk, but that doesn't stop Emily from being her helper. Some days Megan is still wobbly...especially when she was sick. So Emily had fun keeping her balanced.

Sea World

We bought Sea World passes for Christmas. We didn't go at all during 2009 and missed the fun. So on Saturday we spent 2 hours looking at sharks and dolphins and playing in the Kids Area. The nice thing about having passes means that next time we can see the shows and we didn't have to cram everything in to one trip.

Christmas 2009

Christmas morning was very enjoyable in our house. Santa brought a car for Megan, a special coloring book for Emily, and games for the family. Megan loves pushing small cars all around the house and Emily is enjoying the special Daddy attention when playing her Princess game on the Wii. And aren't their matching jammies cute!
