Ever in March

Ever started gymnastics at Oceanside Gymnastics in June 2018. They had a big showcase in March. Wrenzy was taking a class at that point, too, but was too little to participate. Ever had a lot of fun (both in class and at the showcase), and I had fun seeing her out there in her shiny pink leotard. I learned at the showcase, however, that if any of my girls want to continue with gym, Oceanside Gymnastics may not be the place to do it. Even their star pupils didn't have very impressive skills, and Amy Thompson said the place Lelei used to go to is way better.  Anyway, I got terrible videos of Ever on all the events.

Super exciting jump on the springboard:

Classic Ever faces:

Lelei and Ever:

I took Ever and Leela to Legoland once. (The arrangement when I bought Ever's season pass was that Anna would take her when she took Leela and Rafi, but I promised Ever as a reward that I would take her once. It turned out to be cheaper for me to get a season pass via a special deal than it was to buy a regular one-day pass, so I ended up getting a season pass. May have to go again a time or two before the year is out.) 

Ever tried the Raptor Climb, which Leela has a freakish ability to complete successfully 100% of the time.  Ever was not so successful, which upset her, but I had to cut her off after two tries because it costs extra.

I found this among some worksheets Ever brought home from school:

Does that mean she has some inkling of how much work it takes to feed children?

Ever collects things on her bed. I find so many clothes, books, stuffed animals, and random objects up there. One night I went to check on her and found playing cards spread out and her little light still on.

She did a PREP class (after school, at school) by Cadence Dance Project, and they did a performance at the end. She's in the back.

They did it twice, and Ever was not involved in a collision the second time. The second video was blurry, though, and I liked the above video better.

I had to get emo and cry a little bit at the performance, I think mainly because of the song choice. How sweet a little dancer is she?

Rafi, Naomie (friend from last year), Ever, Wren, Lelei, Leela, and Grace

Ever's Daisy troop camped at Camp Winacka.

Then they visited The Ecology Center in Encinitas.

Anna took the kids to Legoland again, where Leela won a gigantic banana for Ever at the Raptor Climb (so not a thing that I want to store at home).
