Gymnast for the day

Earlier this year, we started Zoe in a gymnastics class... feeling like it was a good time for her to experience classroom instruction, plus get some great exercise doing something she loves. Last weekend was the last class of the semester, so I helped Zoe get all decked out for her 'Show Day'.

It was no easy feat to get that wacky, wispy hair of hers into french braids, but we managed- she was very excited about the hairdo. :)

Here she goes- over the bar....

Aunt Karen and Uncle Matt even came up from Brooklyn for the show! They managed to get a shot of Zoe getting a little bit of air on her beam routine, and posted it on their blog. You had to be quick with a camera to catch much of the actual routines!

And, we managed to get in a family shot- as you can see, little sister is growing well...

All in all, a fun day, and a great excuse for this 3 1/2 year old to get all dolled up for the day. Can you tell that she was enoying herself?
