Today was a crummy day weather-wise. It was overcast and rainy on and off all day. We got a text from a classmate of Kinsley's that they were heading to Bounce for open gym and asked if we'd like to join them. Kinsley literally jumped out of her seat when I asked if she wanted to go and said, "YES! Let's get dressed RIGHT now and go." I had to stall her for another two hours, but I promised her that we could go.
What a great way to spend a rainy day. For $5 a kid, they can run and jump and tumble as much as they want for over an hour. I don't think Kinsley or Dagny stopped moving for the entire time we were there. They went from the trampolines to the uneven bars to the balance beam to the trampoline runway and all over again. I was so proud of how they waited patiently for their turns in line. Kinsley was such a great example that even other parents commented to their children about how they should wait nicely like this little girl. And Dagny followed suit to her big sister. It was pretty cute to watch her stand quietly with her hands down to her sides just watching and waiting so patiently but SO anxiously for her turn. And the best part is that it gets their energy out in a way that is completely different from how they are normally able to do it. Changes like that are always welcome for these girls.
