Olga Korbut and Nadia Comenichi Step Aside

...there's a new girl in town! We got very lucky and got into the Sat 10:00 a.m. gymnastics class. I say lucky b/c since we aren't "members" or Coral Gables residents, we don't get first dibs. What's worse is that most of the classes are in the p.m. when most people are working. I can't tell you how annoying it is when all the classes are in the p.m. That's when all the soccar classes are as well. Therefore, we won't be joining anytime soon.

That's OK. We're just doing one class at a time. Not need to burn myself out. Notice I said myself and not ourselves. T could probably do 3 or 4 classes a day. Old mom, however, just doesn't have the energy or time to schlep her around like that.

So, after signing up after work, we went to dinner then came home and T had to put on her leotard. Now granted, its probably technically a ballet leotard vs. gymnastics, but that's all we have. This one is a little too big, and was part of the loot we inherited from Gabriella. So, unless the teach says that the little skirt will interfere, T will be in this. She may get one more. Marie told me that there's a whole ballet/gymnastic dept in target. So for variety, and to spare the black one from too many washings, if T's really good in class, she'll get to pick out a 2nd tumbling leotard after class tomorrow. We'll see.


Meanwhile, tonight I filmed T doing her self-taught tumbling. She's a little like a drunken sailor when she does it, but I'm sure her form will improve with instruction. If the video gets posted, please ignore the sound. The movie The Incredibles was playing on TV, and Elastigirl was flying the plane dodging missles. That's why you may hear lots of screaming and a woman yelling "Abort, Abort".

Despite what you may think, that's not me yelling at T.

UPDATE: Guess who is so excited about her new class, that she insisted on SLEEPING in her leotard?
