Gymnastics Show

Rebekah had her show at The Little Gym on Tuesday night, and guess who missed it? Me! Darrin and I both got the dates mixed up and thought Show Week was next week. It was a bad night for it too. It had been raining all day long, and there was flooding throughout the city. It took Darrin almost 50 minutes to get Rebekah there, and it normally is only about a 30-minute drive, but she was only about 5 minutes late. We were not the only parents who got the dates confused according to the director, and even the number of parents who showed up were not much more than a normal class, but I still felt horrible for missing it. Even if Joshua had not been napping and I had been prepared to leave by the time Darrin realized it was Show Week I still would have missed it due to traffic and weather.

Darrin also was not prepared to take pictures. All he had was his cell phone, so he got what he could. I was so disappointed when I realized that I missed Rebekah's show because this was her first solo performance. I know there will be other opportunities, but as her mommy I hate to miss any of her "firsts".

Here are the best pics Darrin got on his cell phone. He got a few nice shots, but unfortunately they turned out really blurry.




After Rebekah got home I apologized for missing her performance, but she didn't seem to mind. She was so proud of her medal she earned!


I must say, though, that Rebekah is so ecstatic about starting dance next week! She will be taking a class that offers tap and ballet for 30 minutes and gymnastics for another 30 minutes. We picked up her ballet and tap shoes yesterday and she has been wearing them a lot. In fact, she has on her complete ballet outfit right now and is summoning me to go dance with her.
