Holy SPLIT

Miss Gracie is amazing! Last week she advanced in gymnastics from the bronze level to the silver level.



Then last night Gracie joined the Banana Split Club at gymnastics. This is an amazing accomplishment. In order to be in the banana split club, she had to be able to do her splits three ways (left leg forward, right leg forward, and middle) and be able to do a pancake. A pancake is when your legs are straddled and your stomach is on the floor. She has been practicing her splits everyday since they offered her the challenge at the beginning of the year. She has become so flexible that she now just falls into the splits.

Gracie absolutely loves gymnastics. I love them too. If I tell Gracie that she has to do her homework for the week before she can go to gymnastics, she has it done within the hour. If I tell her she can't go to gymnastics until her room is clean, her room will be spotless within 20 minutes. She is such a good little girl and works so hard to do whatever is expected of her. I am so happy that we have found an activity for her that she enjoys so much. And good for her for working so hard to achieve her splits goal.

Congratulations to Gracie! Being a member of the Banana Split Club seems like an accomplishment that only a few can achieve but leave it to Gracie to work hard and complete her goal. Good Job! I'm so happy that she is enjoying gymnastics, maybe we'll see her in the Olympics one day.
