Chloe and I have been going to art at Studio Sprout on Tuesdays and gymnastics and Coffeetopia on Fridays since the start of September. I really look forward to these days (even today, I’m suffering from severe allergies and a cold, but I knew that she was really looking forward to gymnastics, so I took her despite feeling super crummy).
She’ll even put the iPad down and say she’s ready to go when it’s time!
When she was just tagging along with Cameron (at both activities), she was a wild woman, eager to do what big sis was doing. Now that she’s a registered student, she’s quiet and extremely reserved in class.
It was actually pretty impressive to see her get out and do her “bear walks” across these parallel bars because this involved her actually extricating herself from me!
Unfortunately, it takes her about the length of a class to warm up and start feeling chatty and more at ease! She has a great time and she always looks forward to both classes, but she is definitely in the Cling-On phase!
Although I think she’d get more out of gymnastics, especially, if she weren’t wrapped around my leg or wanting to be carried all of the time, I also love snuggling up with her and holding her so I’m also not terribly good at pushing her to press on without me!
