Grace's gymnastics recital...

Last night Grace had her gymnastics recital - it was soooo cute! All of the little girls performed on the floor, they had the floor divided into around 5-6 quadrants so there was activity everywhere! Grace did the balance beam, a line of summersaults, the jumping mat & the uneven bars. She was so cute doing all of them! I think my favorite was watching her jump up to grab the uneven bar & the swinging - she's so grown-up! I asked her what her favorite part was & she said "jumping!"

Then at the end of the performance everyonewas recognized & called up onto a mock Olympian awards stand to receive a metal. Grace thought it was great. Before bed she told me, "they said Grace Elizabeth Lux on the microphone & I got up on that thing that went like this... and I got my necklace!" I was so sweet how excited she was.

She loved her award necklace so much she wore it to bed:-) She wanted to wear it in the bath but I said that probably wasn't a good idea.

During the night she woke up & said she was scared, but I reminded her that her necklace had special powersthat would protect her... she didn't totally buy this but it must have worked enough b/c she went back to sleep:-)
