Trains and Tumbling with Taina

It was to be a fine day after a big storm. The prior evening, the monsoon attacked our house, knocked down a tree, freaked out doggie, and kept the Tot up late!

Doug joined us on our venture to the train park and then to her FIRST gymnastics class. Since the train museum did not open until 10, we had a few minutes to play. My back thanked Doug immensely  as he took over the playground duties of climbing, pushing, carrying and holding.

He also had to share his shades since it was quite a sunny day!

We enjoyed showing off the museum to Doug as he tried to find a train expert to fix his LGB train. Hopefully he did!

Off to the Caterpillar class at Scottsdale Gymnastics. It was a trial class with Taina! When we showed up, there was no other kid there! Was she going to get a private lesson? Tatum was going to have a blast. I gave her the “talk” about listening and being kind, and off she went!IMG_0664 IMG_0665 IMG_0666 IMG_0667 IMG_0668

She kept peaking to see if we were watching her, and we were! She came back to me a couple times for a sip of water, to take her bow, and to get a quick kiss from a teeny tumble fall. Taina said she was the most kind and attentive kid she’d ever worked with at this age. We signed up immediately for next week!

The nap was not a problem today!IMG_0672

 

Thank you Doug for taking pictures, being goofy with Tot, and hanging out with us!
