On Saturday we celebrated WC's 7th birthday at a gymnastics party with her buddies. This was our first all-girls party and they had such a great time! (The only boy in attendance was P, who was pretty excited for the girls to chase him around.)
Her actual birthday is January 3, and we just didn't get our act together and get a party scheduled before the holidays happened, and parties in January were filling up quickly and January 26 was the earliest we could get. I think she was a bit disappointed at first, but we did have a family party at our house on the 3rd, and she also got to take cupcakes to school to celebrate there. And I think the idea of stretching out the celebration and getting to have another party later in the month quickly became a fun prospect.
A gymnastics party was a perfect choice since she just starting taking class and is enjoying it so much. Although team sports like soccer just didn't seem to be a good fit for her, an individual sport like gymnastics is working out great. I am so glad we have found the activity that holds her interest!
