Jade in Gymnastics

   Jade took part in 2 months of gymnastics, again with her friend Mia, and loved it.  Her teacher said thank you to me for bringing her!  She said she is so cute, and has such a natural toe point, and does everything so well.  At times during class, Jade's teacher gives me a look like, "That's what I'm talking about!  Did you see that?"  Jade loves doing gymnastics at home and taught herself to do a back kick over.  She does the splits and likes to "vault" onto the couch off an old toddler mattress.  She likes to do somersaults and frequently asks me to help her try flips and handsprings.  If we had a ton of money, we'd make an Olympic gymnast out of her...hahaha!  Really, though, she has a knack for this stuff.  Jade especially loves the bar.   

Jade Begins Preschool

     Jade started in September.  She is in Ms Holly's class, out of Ms Holly's home.  Westin had Holly last year, and she is so kind and patient, and affordable!  Jade has several friends from church in her class: Jack, Mia, Lincoln, and Brielle.  Jade does very well and already writes her name nicely.  She gets a little bossy with her friends at times, but I think a few of them do the same.  Jade loves to tell me all about the fun things she does at preschool and loves the independence it gives her.  She is so sweet and feisty at the same time.  I love listening to her talk!  She likes to call me Miss Kierstin and pretends that she is my teacher.
