gymboree

we made it to gymboree this morning (last week we slept through it...not as hard as you might imagine even though it starts at 10:05. if the kiddos are sleeping, i'm sleeping.) ellen just loves loves loves going to gymboree - especially when her favorite teacher in the world, teacher laurie, is there. that lady can get ellen to do stuff that neither dave nor i can. climbing up and jumping off crazy things that she would run from otherwise. teachers can make all the difference somehow. anyway, i'm really thrilled with this whole gymboree experience - it's like pre-preschool. she learns public speaking, taking turns, all kinds of coordination and just tons of great stuff.
