The other day a friend of mine brought her niece over to play. She is exactly the same age as Av. They were in the backyard playing well together. First they played hide and seek and then they were kicking a ball around together. Av was slightly faster than the little girl so she was getting to it faster and kicking it more. I was VERY impressed. My little non-sport girl was playing soccer. I had no idea where she had gotten the skills from though. I should have asked. Last night she started kicking a ball around in the house and started telling me about the soccer she plays at school. "Oh in gym class?" I asked. "No" she said, "outside." Then she went on to tell me how she plays with 4 other little kids. 2 boys and 2 girls and they are not the girls she normally plays with (girls she didn't even want to invite to her bday party). I asked how often she played and she said, "all the time." So she has been choosing to playing soccer with kids that are not her fav friends over playing with the girls she talks about all the time?!?!?! Love it!!! Maybe she does have some of her dad's athletic ability in her!!!! Today after gymnastics (more about that later) she was hula hooping. Like for real!!! I asked where she learned that and she said "in PE with Mr. Zoaller." Yay!!!
In gymnastics after stretching they jumped on a spring board into a foam pit. So fun! Then they went to the balance beams and did all 6 of them. Even the HUGE one that is higher than my waist. Av did them all (she usually sticks to the smaller ones). So impressed. Then they bear crawled on the parallel bars and swung from the rings with their feet by their hands. They worked on cart-wheels and ended jumping on the trampoline into the foam pit. She did amazing. We all slept in to 830 so she had soooooo much energy. It was beautiful. She is loving it and it makes me so happy and proud.
