Briana - The Athlete

Sorry the picture is so fuzzy - I took it with my camera phone. Bri got her new soccer t-shirt last week and she is showing it off for me. (Along with the new crocs I bought her at the mall today. Bad me.)

Besides taking gymnastics now, Briana is a soccer player too! And she LOVES it. She literally beams from the minute she walks into the class until she walks out. She loves her coach. She enjoys gymnastics, but I really think soccer is where her heart is. She has a natural ability to kick the ball in a straight line. I knew she was gonna love it, and she sure does. As we all know, Bri loves staying in constant motion. ;) The class she is in teaches her the fundamentals of soccer (in a super fun way), such as running (forward and backward), kicking, balancing and starting and stopping quickly. Bri won't be playing in any soccer games just yet, but I don't think it is too far down the road.

Here are a few pics from her first day of class a few weeks ago...



And I snapped a few pics of Briana in gymnastics with my cell phone last week. She has really improved there too. I was just told by her instructor that she has moved up another level. Yay Bri!



This Saturday is the "Spring Spectacular" for gymnastics. You can see what it was like last year. The sessions are set up according to age/color level, so Bri's session is at 11:15. Since Briana is a year older and wiser, as well as her peers, this year's spring spectacular shouldn't be as chaotic as last year. Last year, it was kind of like herding cats. Her age group now actually listens to the teachers (sort of) and pays attention to directions (sort of). Pictures to come... :D
