Little Gym Awards Ceremony

Emma Claire has been going to classes at Little Gym since before she was able to walk. Up to this point, they have been parent/child classes. That is "our thing". Arnold usually goes to school on Fridays and Emma Claire and I have a "mommy day", starting off with our gymnastics time.

Yesterday was the end of the semester and the "Awards Ceremony". Next week is a big transition (for me, at least). Emma Claire will be starting "Funny Bugs" class, an hour long class - without parents. What just happened - where did that time go? Is she possibly grown up enough to take a CLASS without my participation? I was a little emotional about it. However, I am super excited to sit out in the lobby with the other moms, visit and watch Emma Claire learn. She is definitely ready. In fact, if I try to help her with a skill in class, she swats me away and says "no, no, no, I want Traci to help me".
