Jumping with Joy!

Today, we were fortunate enough to be able to run amok in a gymnastics gym (isn't that redundant?) where my younger, much more athletic sister coaches gymnastics. Basically, this meant that I worked up a sweat chasing after my independent two-year-old as she ran from one activity to another with shocking speed and an amazing amount of energy. She never stopped, as is seen in the very blurry photo below:

That was her favorite thing of all--jumping on the trampoline. She ran around, but always came back to jump! Since the floors were all padded, this was the first time she was able to jump on a trampoline *alone* and two-year-olds are all about doing things by themselves! Here is another shot of her on the trampoline:

After watching the other older girls there who were actually practicing, Faith tried several times to join them. That was not an option. However, toward the end of our time there, another coach honored Faith by inviting her to do a split next to her. Faith was thrilled!

We will definitely need to look into lessons when we get home!
