Well, the time has come to start Carly in gymnastics. I have been secretly waiting to have her start since I knew I was having a baby girl. I had Cole in gymnastics as well and he recently decided he wanted to take a break from it. I knew gymnastics for Cole was just a good activity for his coordination, flexibility and strength. I also new, once he reached the ALL boy class that JD was going to start asking when his tough and all boy son would stop this activity and move onto bigger boy sports. You see I grew up in the sport of gymnastics and competed at a National level. I have wonderful memories and not so wonderful memories in the years I competed. It can be a tricky sport for young girls if you get up into the competion levels and I always said If I had a little girl I was not going to let her compete. Well, I guess times have changed. I see Carly out there in her adorable leotards bouncing, climbing, swinging and loving every minute of it and I can't help but see potential in her little body! The girl is SO coordinated and has NO FEAR. The two things you need most in a sport like gymnastics. My friend who I competed with at this same gym that Carly goes to, coaches the girls team and she can already see the potential I see. I guess you start having hopes and dreams for your kids even at this young age. I will say JD and I do make extremely athletic kiddos. Even if my Carly girl decides she hates the sport of gymnastics it will be fun to see what she gravitates towards.
