gymnastics . . .

dear kate,
i decided that for your 3rd birthday i was going to enrol you into gymnastics lessons!
so i did.
you are going to be taking lessons every week at lakeland gymnastics club in cold lake! 
i was so happy to go with you when i came for my visit!  i brought you a gymnastic suit to wear too!
i knew that you would love going to gymnastics - but i never dreamed you would be so amazingly good at it!  you have so much energy and you love to climb and jump!
i took lots of photos while i was watching you.  i love the first picture here!  you look so cute!
here are some more pics . . .












you were not afraid to try anything - even if you had to climb up high, high, high!  some of the other kids were afraid . . . but not you!!
i hope that i can give you gymnastics lessons every year!  
did you know that nammy did gymnastics too?  yes, i did.
the balance beam and floor exercises were my favourites!  especially the balance beam!
one time, i was in a big gymnastics competition in ottawa/hull that was even on t.v.
and guess what?
i won first place on the balance beam!!  that was fun!
when i was in my early 20's i taught gymnastics to little girls your age - and a little older.  i really love gymnastics and i think that it is such a good sport for you!
i hope you love it as much as i did!  and, for sure, i already know you will be better than i ever was!!
i love you sugar plum!
love,
nammy xox
