All of Amelia's gymnastic meet pictures have disappeared somehow. I salvaged a few of these from my phone, boooo. I will just have to recap. When we showed up, there were a TON of preschoolers in her division. She got a little nervous because I hadn't prepared her for such a crowd. Nor was I. There were 42 three, four, and five year olds. As all our family started arriving and she saw them, she calmed down. She had a simple little routine to do that her class has been practicing and she was by far the best one. NO, REALLY. Haha. I was so proud that I almost bawled through the entire thing. Her little salute at the end was so cute. Also, each child got a trophy and the look on her face as she stood on the first place podium was so precious. She had no clue that everyone got a trophy and she was beyond thrilled.
Here is the only picture I have with her and some of her biggest fans.
However, Ross, Elise, and I were there and Gammy and Gampy; Ing, Steph, and Liv; Meme and Pop; and Tom and Jen. She had a huge crew there to watch her and definitely felt the love. That sums our family up. Everyone driving up and giving up their whole afternoon to sit in a crowded and hot gym to watch my baby do a 40 second performance.
After that we all went back to Jen's house to play and the day was unseasonably warm and the girls had a blast all running around and playing together.
