Proud Mom

I just had to brag on Olivia a bit tonight.  She is doing so well in gymnastics.   Because Olivia does not have much upper body strength, some things are really tough for her.  Over the last 6 months, we have stuck with it and I am amazed at her progress.  She is doing forward rolls, jumping into the pit, riding the pulley (it’s like a zip line), holding onto the bar for 20+ seconds and building confidence on the balance beam.  She’s also doing great with things like listening, waiting in line, waiting her turn and sitting quietly.  She has come a long way in all areas.  Being born at 23 weeks. . .we didn’t know what physical limitations she might have.  Never would I have dreamed she would be taking a gymnastics class.  I’m just so proud of her and all that she has accomplished.   Ryan and I made sure to talk about how proud we were of her on the ride home. . . .you know, so she could overhear.
