4th Birthday

My 'baby' is four! The time has both flown by and gone slowly.
Yaya, Pa, and Jennifer made a gift that was a great hit! It was an edible aquarium!

Here she is getting ready to open a gift from Michael and me.

It's Ponyo! She LOVES this movie and we've watched it a ton since she got it.

A Ponyo cake to add to the craziness.

Gymnastics

Naomi has been in gymnastics for about a year now! She is so much more coordinated than she used to be. She even knows a ton of gymnastics terms and doesn't look at the coach with a strange expression when she asks her to do a V-sit.

Since it's a preschool class they have them do things fun like hopscotch, it makes them learn to jump onto one or two feet depending on the squares.

Here she is climbing the 'mountain'. If the coach isn't watching closely she'll climb all the way to the top by herself!



Every class, the coach create a series of activities for the kids, this time they were supposed to do a chin up and then pull over, then climb up the hill doing a bear walk and slide down, then they were supposed to jump from the spring board to the mini trampoline then to the mat with only 3 jumps, and finally they finished with 'donkey kicks' on the four colored squares. Of course, the camera and I had a fight, so I missed the first part when she did a chin up to a pull over, but she was awesome I can assure you!

Why on why would the cat climb into Naomi's bed?!? Foolish animal! I can't decide if Naomi actually wants the cat to like her, or if it's just her secret desire to be able to pick the cat up and carry her around. She acts like she's going to pet her, and then suddenly she grabs her, and scuffle ensues and someone ends up being angry (usually 3 someones, 1 got grabbed, 1 got scratched, and 1 is yelling...I'll let you decide which is which).
