I just wanted to brag a little bit. I was watching my DD at gym this week and I am so amazed at how much she has improved and how rapid the improvement has been. I really didn't see why they invited her to be in the developmental class to begin with. To me she showed no special ability and she was the only kid in her class that they moved. Many kids in her preschool class could do more than her.
After a few classes I was happy with how she was enjoying the class and that it was giving her the chance to learn so many new things, but it was clear that she was really behind where the others were. I figured it was totally normal due to the age difference.
I'm a bad mom because I don't actually watch practice too much. You can only watch so many cartwheels. I usually read or chat with other moms. Today I actually paid attention and she has totally caught up to the other girls. I was really amazed. She looks so good and the difference in just a few weeks is really dramatic. I expected it to take her months to catch up. She couldn't do a cartwheel just a few weeks ago and then she started doing a really ugly cartwheel. Today she was doing pretty cartwheels and a surprisingly really good roundoff. Roundoffs seem to be easier for her than cartwheels.
So there's my brag.
