Little Gymnasts

The only activities going on in our home are cartwheels, backward rolls, headstands, handstands, bridges, and the splits.
Yes, the girls are back in gymnastics class and loving it!  Peyton is actually in a tumbling class because she doesn't care for the balance beam and the parallel bars, apparently, make her neck hurt. However, doing a backward somersault into the standing position doesn't hurt one bit. The only down side to this is Kai. Kai is trying out these moves as well. His somersaults and half cartwheels are the cutest things ever, but I am so paranoid one of his little limbs are going to snap. He just needs to stick with his funky dance moves while listening to Katy Perry, Kesha, and Usher and playing with his trains. Yes, he has great taste in music and some incredibly sweet moves. His favorite day at school is Thursday because they have chapel and he gets his groove on to "Jesus Loves Me" and other adorable chapel music.
Back to my little gymnasts.  The girls are loving their Wednesday gym time and practice nonstop at home. Eliza announced she was going to be a gymnast as her job. She was then curious about what college she would have to go to in order to get that job. 
I am just happy they are happy and can't wait to see what they learn and if they will, eventually, be able to do the splits. They think they are close, well, Peyton is closer than Eliza, but they have a ways to go. I will keep you posted.
