“I’m a big girl”

That’s what Maya said to her new gym coach when she walked up to gymnastics today, this being her first day in the “Big Kids Class.”

After many months of watching the big kids line up in a “choo choo train” she finally got to lead the train. As they walked away, she looked over at me with a big smile. No tears today. So cool. 

 The only bad thing about this is me being banned from the mat. I have to sit with the even bigger people in the viewing area. This gets better every time she looks over at me with a big smile waiving (this has happened at least 5 times already and class only started 10 minutes ago). It’s a happy day! I can see she’s learning some new things, and with ease. 

There she is at the far end doing butterfly legs.
