Gymnastic's ~ A learning experience for all of US

Yesterday was the 1st class for fall gymnastics. This was nothing new for Nyah, we started her when she was 18mo old. She has loved it since the day we started. She is now in her own class without mommy or daddy. She does so well!

As for Anastyn, it started out a little rough. Thankfully Justin was there, he is so patient with her. When she would start to act up and disrupt the class he would calmly take her into the hallway and let her calm down. By the end of the class she was participating without any major meltdowns. I think next week will be easier because we learned that having Nyah in the room while Anastyn is in class is a distraction. Anastyn wants to be where ever Nyah is.

This weeks assignments...
At this time we are working on waiting our turn and sharing with Anastyn and Nyah is working on NOT talking when the teacher is talking and following directions! :)

Surprise's!!

Over Labor Day weekend Justin and I went to Colorado for a wedding. Ny and Anastyn stayed with Justin's mom, it was the longest we have left the girls and was difficult at times for all of us. While we were gone I was talking to Justin about what we could do for Mom when we got home to show her our appreciation for watching the girls...So we decided we would clean her house while she was out of town the following weekend. So that is what I did, I got some flowers and a card and left them on the counter... Well after all was said and done Mom called that evening from Salt Lake to talk to the girls... The conversation went as follows:
Nyah: Hi grandma,
not sure what grandma was saying...
Nyah: My momma is sick, we buy you flowers grandma and my momma clean you house today!
Mommy: NO don't say that!!

Not sure what grandma is saying on the other end of the phone. Conversation ends.

Mommy: Nyah Grace your not supposed to tell grandma about our surprise!
Nyah: My name Nyah-bug!
Mommy: sigh
Nyah: (with arm's crossed) some people ornery!

I just smiled, I love you Nyah-bug!
