This past week we entered a whole new phase of life. Grace is participating in her second gymnastics class, and this semester is doing her first no-parent class. Meaning I watch (and can even leave) while the teacher does all the teaching! (and coralling of three year olds)
She is also going to be participating in an exibition preformance at the OSU pink out gymnastics meet. They are actually teaching these three and four year olds a dance routine!!! It is short, but Grace is the youngest kid there. Josh and I watched her first rehersal yesterday and had some very proud and very hard to hold back the laughs moments. We were so proud that she could listen to directions, from someone other than us, remember a task, and even learn some new games in just a couple minutes. (I can't believe I haven't taught her to play redlight greenlight! but she picked up quick!) She answered questions when asked of her and for the most part picked up on the routine! I was so proud! But she also has a condition called bounce syndrome! Once the girl starts bouncing she keeps going and just can't stop. She'd be doing the routine, and she could get right aslong as she didn't get the bouncies, once she did she just bounced out of excitement in the general direction of all the other kids doing the routine the rest of the time. Also one other funny moment- the teacher said they were going to try doing the routine to the music, and grace said "no thankyou I don't want the music" and the teacher said "well i think we're going to give it a try" and Grace said "ok, how about the Jesus song" So funny! Anyways we are very proud and very entertained!!

If I had one verb to describe grace i think i would use "jump" or "bounce" so that story is classic. I can't wait until next term when they can be in a class together!
