Encouraging signs

Today at gym there was a brand new baby (one week old). Bin said she wanted to see the baby, so we went to look. She then said, no, I don't want to see that baby, I want to see the baby in your belly. Got lots of laughs from the rest of the room.

I was amazed with Bin on the bars at gym today. She was moving her legs from tucked in to straight position. She held her body perfectly straight, her legs stayed together at all times and toes pointed. Maybe from close up there were more flaws, but I could not believe she could do it that close to perfect form. Also, did some push up things on the ring that I thought I don't have the arm strength to do. While I am watching in awe, the gym teacher caught my eye and gave me a look like this is what I was talking about.

Bin later was a little upset she didn't have enough arm strength to do one of the other task. I don't think she ever looks around at the other kids in class, cause none of them can do the stuff she has mastered (like the teacher is still holding them up while they are on the bars for everything). I guess though it is good that being better than everyone else isn't enough for her.

I did kind of feel bad when her coach seemed shocked that I am dropping Bin to once a week with the school year. I am getting very pregnant, she'll be at preschool ten hours a week, I think an hour is good enough. If Bin is upset over the drop in hours, we'll talk about it, but for now, I think an hour is about what we can handle. Though Bin does want a bunch of stuff so she can practice at home (a bar, rings, a balance beam and a trampoline are what she asked for in specific- oh also a mat).
