A Future Olympian?

For some time now it has bothered me that from the time Lexi was 2 years old she was taking ballet, doing gymnastics, going to art classes, going to sports camp, playing soccer and so on. And here is Levi, a nice round 4 1/2 years old, and nothing...not one class (unless you count speech therapy, which is not, in my opinion, all that fun), not one opportunity to find a hobby or passion for his young life.

So I decided it was time to do something about that. And what could be better than letting the busy little man work off some energy by running around? Levi started gymnastics at the same place that Lexi does gymnastics and dance two weeks ago, and is loving it! He was thrilled today when he climbed up to the top of a tall platform, hung from the high bar and dropped into the foam pit. He couldn't stop talking about it on the way home. I am not sure yet if he has any natural ability, but he definitely has no fear and will hang, flip, somersault, and jump with the best of them.

Sorry these pictures are so dark... I took them from the observation deck above the gym.
