Today was the kid's last day of gymnastics, and they were told (and encouraged) to bring a friend with them for some free-time. Lucy invited Emma, and Max invited his friend David (from nursery) and they had an awesome time. It was so fun to watch them go at it on all the equipment and just do what they wanted. My kids are really into gymnastics.
Wednesday is definitely their favorite day of the week and, except for the first day, they have been very willing and there hasn't been any tears. It's amazing to see how much they've learnt over the last 8 weeks. We missed two weeks while we were in Disneyland, but that didn't phase them. Lucy has learnt how to do a bum drop and land back on her feet,
and Max finally walked on the skinny balance beam today unassisted. They had fun showing their friends all the cool things to do, and ended the morning off by having race after race down the track and into the foam pit. Emma asked Lucy repeatedly, "why did you ask me to come?". David and Max kept to themselves most of the time, but interacted when necessary...usually for one of them to tell the other to 'get off' or to say, 'I'm using that one!' The instructors finished the year off with a certificate presentation where the kids got to stand on a platform to olympics music and raise their arms in the air like true champions. 
They got a certificate with a ribbon on it and a sticker. Then each of the friends got a sticker too. We're looking forward to signing them up again in the fall.
