Fashion Statement

Isabelle is happy to be back in gymnastics class, which, like swimming, is now "by herself". Mommy and Oliver accompany her every Friday but must remain spectators as she heads off to join her classmates and instructor. First week went perfectly, she joined in like a pro. Week 2 was a bit more of a challenge, as she clearly wasn't keen on going off on her own for some reason. Kudos to her instructor, who sent Mom back to spectating and toughed out her student's tears until she was having too much fun to remember why she was crying. Another crisis averted. Isabelle attended class in her pink gymnastic leotard, pink pants and pink leg warmers, what a sight. She left class, however, with a new look, purple sparkles and a matching scrunchie! She could not be more thrilled and modeled it for us tonight. During class, she is always distracted by the competitive big kids and all that they can accomplish. She is already running around imitating them when she gets home. Well now that she looks the part, I'm sure the Olympic level skills will follow!

Oliver, not to be outdone, was also sporting his new hip hop look. Can't have only one fashion plate in the family, can we? Look out, sis, I'm following you on the runway!
