Abbie and Aidan waiting for gymnastics to begin
As long as he is eating, Aidan will actually sit down
Abbie climbing the rope
Walking very carefully on the balance beam
Running around at sissy's gymnastics wears Aidan out
On the way home, Abbie has learned to use the camera, and likes her shoes
Wednesdays are spent with Abbie's gymnastics. She is in the advanced preschool at Lafayette Area Gymnastics. Right now she is working on her bridge then kicking her feet over, and cartwheels. She is advancing rather well in her class, and enjoys doing it. Aidan on the other hand, becomes a crazy man the second we step into the gym. He senses that mommy needs him to sit down and be good, and is determined to do the opposite of what mommy wants him to do. I bring a complete stash of snacks with me to interest him, from teddy grahams to a snack mix, and when I become really desperate I bring out the m&m's. Aren't I a great mother, giving my son chocolate right before lunch-but if you were there, you would understand! Gymnastics last an hour, and it is a very long hour for Aidan and me. But finally when the clock strikes 11, we are out of there, and mommy is in control again. We usually run a few errands and stop for lunch and then home for nap time. Aidan takes a 3 hour nap, which is just enough time for mommy to recuperate and recharge. You never know what the rest of the day is going to bring.
