Gymnastics recital

Julia finished up her gymnastics class with a little recital this afternoon, and afterwards proudly received her applause and a certificate:




Here are some of the highlights from the recital:


Julia models her tuck, straddle, and turn jumps on the gym mats

She definitely has a little more work to do on her cartwheels, though:


After the recital, Madeleine finally had her turn jumpin' on the couch, though her favorite activity was hiding in the "cave":



Not really a surprise; she absolutely loves putting herself in things. (If you can't tell based on this picture of her watching Dora while sitting in her baby doll bassinet:)
