Sophie has been going to a hip-hop/gymnastics class in Oakland so we thought Janie could try it out. On the first week, she just sat off to the side and watched the whole thing. Last week, we missed because our timing didn’t work out. However, this week, she pumped herself up and was excited because Mama taught her how to do a somersault. We weren’t sure how she would do especially since she was saying she didn’t want to take a dance class and also because Sophie wasn’t going to be there today. Mama was pleasantly surprised to see that she jumped right from the start and managed to participate in the class the entire time.
We know that doing the dancing part wasn’t easy for her but she stuck with the instructor and then got to do some tumbling and jumping at the end.
When she came out of the class, she said “I’m proud of myself”. Aw….
