Olivia had a recital to end her semester at the Little Gym "Funny Bugs" gymnastics class. To be honest, Jeremy and I were really worried that she would even perform. Olivia does NOT like to be the center of attention unless it is on her own terms. I hung a picture she made of Lilly on the refrigerator for Lilly's first birthday and Olivia made me take it down because she didn't want anyone commenting on it. If I tell her she looks cute before a party, she will tell me she doesn't want anyone at the party to call her cute and ask to take her outfit off. That is how bad it is. So Jeremy and I expected to show up at Liv's last class in order to comfort a shy little girl during a recital. We made sure we didn't make a big deal about the recital beforehand and didn't even tell her we were showing up - but when we did, she REALLY surprised us! Olivia did so well and performed with the other kids - I was SO incredibly proud of her! She really loves her gymnastics class at the Little Gym so much, that I have signed her up for a ballet and tap class mixed with gymnastics next semester. She also attended a camp over the winter break and told me that she had so much fun she didn't want to go home! We have certainly come a long way from that first class when Olivia stood in the corner and cried! Lilly loved watching her too, and as you can tell from the pictures, I think I will be enrolling another little girl in a Little Gym class soon! Enjoy the pictures!
