Tour of Morgan's Room

Morgan started going to gymnastics this fall at a place that also trains fairly serious competitive gymnasts. They have balance beams, vault, bars, etc. that the girls of every age train on. As Mom and Dad expected, Morgan really enjoys it. However, the surprising part has been how much Morgan looks up to the older gymnasts. When you enter the place, there is a waiting room with a big glass window where you can watch the gymnasts practice without being in the room with them. Every week Morgan runs in yelling, "I want to see the big girls!" She gets very excited to watch them practice before her class. Mom sees Morgan decide to leave her group to go get a drink of water at least once every week, and Morgan always just stands and watches the older girls while she's at the water fountain. Today Lydia found a poster of Nastia Liukin, an olympic gymnast in a catalog, and showed it to Morgan. Morgan had Lydia hang it in the middle of her room over the princess castle by the ceiling. Mom thought it was a little high there and found a good spot for it.

This is Morgan with the lifesize picture of herself she made at preschool. As you can see, she is very pleased with it.

This is her hanging out on her bed. She enjoyed the attention tonight of being an only child for a little while with her siblings gone/ asleep.
