Proud mumma day

I can't remember if I've blogged about this in the past so had best lay the foundations for today's moment of pride....

Over the school holidays Ashleigh attended an open day type thing at a nearby gymnastics place. Her cousin desperately wanted her to go with her (her cousin attends this school) and we'd thought if nothing else it would be fun. At the end of the 2 hour session Ashleigh was sent home with a note about State Development group saying that she had demonstrated a talent with gymnastics.

I rang last Monday and spoke with a lady about it. One of the first things she told me was that not everyone got these notes and in fact, over the school holidays, they'd had about 80 kids through and only 8 were given these notes! That was enough to start me feeling pretty proud of our big girl.

So she went along last Monday for her first lesson and was to be tested at that time (not sure if they did or not but she had fun). She went again today and has come home with a merit certificate for "forward roll on bars"

I'm so proud of her and how well she has taken to this. She seems to be thriving and absolutely loving it at the same time. Its also helped with her appetite! She has eaten so much since getting home and I'm hoping she will have a lovely long sleep tonight too
