Okay, so maybe not yet. But she did handle herself rather well with the group, and had a great time as well. She did well on the balance beam, and was good at hanging on the bars. The trampoline is pretty funny, as she tends to trot across it, rather than keep her legs together in little hops. She does tuck and roll nicely, and I think she'll have that all figured out pretty quickly, with a little continued guidance. The ladies at Metro Gymnastics are very good with children, and we were all laughing a lot at a few of the kids' attempts, both successful and not-so-Olympian.
Afterwards, we went home so Daddy could do a bit of work. Actually, he went out to make sure Madison was on the family's dental insurance because we have a family appointment next month where we'll really take a look at Madison's teeth. That'll be interesting - you'll have to read about it here!
It was exciting news today to see about the oil leak finally stopping. We're praying this fix is permanent, because this disaster is beyond words.
After doing some chores about town, Daddy came back in time for the whole family to take a little nap. Yes, another nap. BUT, we all got up earlier than usual this morning, and not just because of the gymnastics class. It was just one of those "get up early" sort of days that we all have from time to time.
So we slept a bit, and then afterwards Ye-Ye came over for dinner. It was a Mexican feast, so Daddy and Madison put on sombreros and popped in a Herb Alpert CD, as Ye-Ye came over for dinner. Nana, Aunt Shain and Madison's cousins are all in Florida exploring the Everglades and the beaches, so Ye-Ye has been on his own this week, taking care of the bees. We invited him over for dinner, and then over to see the new house.
It looks pretty much the same! Only darker, because it was later. But it's still a big house, and Ye-Ye seemed to like it. He pointed out some places we'll need to address, where gutters needed adjusting and where the concrete needed help. But overall, the reparations are minor. The big thing he noted was that this house was so big, the energy bill we're accustomed to paying will most certainly be larger.
But the good clearly outweighs any negatives. For example, the pool is great - and we can just see ourselves relaxing on that back deck, overlooking the trees on a cool summer's eve like tonight was. Madison loves the house, running this way and that. She can take someone on the tour now, actually, just like a real estate agent.
"This way!" she calls out, and runs upstairs. Maybe she knows her room is up there...?
We got home and had some delicious pecan pie that Mommy made, and some of the Kona coffee that she ordered for Daddy for our anniversary. It was a nice evening, but Daddy needs to focus on getting back to work here on our upcoming series. "School Days" is what we're calling it... can you believe school will be starting up again soon?
