Coby. He's a tough one. His only interest used to be bugs. Seriously, nothing but bugs. We started him in Tae Kwon Do in the last year. It has helped him in so many ways. I was hoping it would help him focus, mind well, pay attention. Has it? Nooot so much, but it is helping him socially. He loves it. Our very first tournament is coming up this weekend and I am so very excited for him. My hope is that these tournaments will encourage him to work even harder. Its so great to see him finally really enjoy something.
Paige loves gymnastics. She recently did her first back handspring clinic and I loved every minute of it. Yes, me. I'm positive I was more excited than her. Getting your roundoff back-handspring combination is a HUGE deal in the gymnast world. I will get her there in the next few months. She's starting cheerleading over the summer. We have a new babysitter, that we have not gotten to use yet. She is young, cute, red headed, and a cheerleader/poms girl. Paige met her again over the weekend. Paige is NEVER quiet. She was so intimidated by her. Almost star struck. Paige is loud, rambunctious, and outgoing. She is going to make an awesome cheerleader. My dream as a child was to be a Fly Girl. Iinspiring right?! I didn't want to be a doctor like Donnie or a lawyer..a Fly Girl was it! I could see Paige doing this. She is very much a diva and has that personality.
Zuri is my natural gymnast. From the moment Zuri was born the nurses were calling her my cirque du soleil girl. Zuri was born via c-section bc her arm and leg were pinned to her head. She apparently couldn't come out that way. She has been limber from the very get go. I think she was just making us aware of her passion. Zuri watches in awe of the T3 tumblers at gymnastics. She shares my passion. She is going to be an amazing tumbler and I will be the crazy gymnastics mom.
Liana. Wellll...she is dominated by Zuri. She's working on being her own person right now. L did do gymanstics as well, and was good at at. We will get there again. I can't push this one.
I really love that my kids can do all these things. I didn't get this oppurtunity as a kid. I want them to all have their own passion and mine for gymnastics. My girls must be gymnasts. There really is no choice about it. I want all my kids to be successful, talented, and smart. I want to be the proud mom watching my girls in meets or watching Coby in tournaments. Lets hope they appreciate it later. My life as a mother right now is who needs to be where, what time, how are they getting there. I wouldn't have it any other way.
