Lauren

Lauren has just started taking dance this year and she loves it. She has been taking gymnastics since the beginning of the year and she really loves that too. Lauren just loves to play and be active. She will probably be really good at gymnastics because she has no fear. When she was 18 months old I took her to a neighboorhood park and she climbed the rock wall something her older sister wouldn't dare to attempt. She just learned to swim this summer. She was so excited to finally take her floaties off and jump in the deep like to big kids. The problem is once she's in she has to either make it to the side or to the shallow because she hasn't figured out how to come up for air and continue swimming. She is a very emotional little girl. Which can be a good or bad thing. She can be so loving, more then any child I've ever seen but when she is upset...I have to take deep breaths all the time and try to zone in to patient mom mode. Most of the time she is a really fun girl though.
