I've just never seen him so happy :)
This summer I've been thinking of taking some time with the babies and going home to Vegas and visit my sister (and dear friends who I just don't ever see). The thing that has been slowing me down though is that the kids are just having a great summer here. I'm really loving my time with them and I'm happy to see them happy. Cally is busy being Cally and Rachel is just LOVING her swim lessons. But the one who is happiest is Harmon. Why? Well, JAZZ HANDS!!!!
Harmon loves gymnastics!!! I shouldn't take so much joy in it but he is doing just really fabulous and I love that he loves it. He danced to last year's big hit "Call Me Maybe" with his 6-8 yr old class and he just ROCKED IT even though he was the youngest in the group by a year or more.
Yesterday was his first week of the advanced boys class for 6-8. His teacher warned me it might not work out because the amount of focus the class needs (they are doing things moms don't want to think about their kids doing. It focuses on male gymnastics rather than the more dance like general one he has been in. He did fabulous though. The kid who can't stay still for 10 seconds was a great listener and he shined. He gets to stay officially as a Flipping Frog!!! He will be staying with his girls too on Saturday (in fact he is there right now) but now he is also doing the "man thing" with the boys.
He is getting to the age where he can start competing soon and I'm just thrilled with that because he is doing so well. Harmon has often struggled with his esteem. Since he was a toddler I fear he thinks "no Harmon" was his full name. He is often getting himself into trouble at school and at home. While we need to redirect we also really need to be more encouraging. At gym Harm feels like a Superman and he is doing just wonderfully. His teacher is always amazed at the end of the day how WONDERFUL Harm is doing. I'm not amazed though. Harmon is wonderful and I'm glad he has a place where instead of "no Harmon" his name is "wow Harmon".
