Cuteness Overload

Adele has started taking gymnastics this year.

She has class every Friday for 45 minutes. There are many kids ages 3-6 who gather together on the mats and start off with the Chicken Dance and stretching before breaking off into their smaller groups of 6.

Let me tell you, there is waaaaay too much cuteness in one gym. Sometimes I think my heart will explode from watching Adele attempt each activity with the other little girls. She gets to practice on the balance beam, the uneven bars, the vault, and somersaults on the mat.

Of course, we've had a little fallback from gymnastics classes. It seems that every Friday afternoon, Adele is trying new tricks at home. Like scaling the fridge. Or climbing all over the couch and jumping onto chairs. And doing somersaults all around the living room.

And Henry's picked up on it too. Except without the grace. He typically likes to do a few somersaults in his crib before naps and bed, and he hangs from the kitchen table, and tries to somersault off the couch (gotta watch that kid...).

And of course, they love it when I find a Chicken Dance youtube at home.

That's when the cuteness turns into hilarity.

Clearly, she loves gymnastics. 
Behind her in line is her good friend Reece, who is also in class with her.

Making her way through all activities in the gym!
