I only speak in direct simple sentences. I only type in direct, simple sentences. The girls at gymnastics are DEFINETLY going to make fun of me. I do not care.

On Saturday I went to the rec center. Mom dropped me off. I explored the rec center. I swam in the pool. I can bike to the rec center. I will try it sometime. There is a pool at the rec center. There is a skating rink at the rec center. There is an indoor play set at the rec center. There is an outdoor play set at the rec center. There is a teen center at the rec center. I can not go in the teen center. I am disappointed by the teen center. I found out that the teen center has a pool tables. It has video games. I consider the teen center boring. I can not skate by myself in the skating rink. I must be accompanied by an adult.

Yesterday I made a big accomplishment. I jumped to the high bar nine times in a row! That is really big because I usually lean over when I am on top of the low bar so much that I fall off. Well I did it. Finally! B-)


We had Mrs. A yesterday and She had us set up three big blue blocks, each with a mini tramp and a mat behind it. She told us to do three cast like movements off of the mini tramp with our hands on the block. We had to go up to a handstand. She also said that unless we went up to vertical we could not do a back tuck off of the mini tramp. I went up to vertical on my first turn. On my second turn I went over handstand. Marydonna and Gabby were supposed to hold the block down and to push me back if I go over. When I was over handstand and at the point when they should push me back, they screamed and performed duck and cover. Now going over is all ready pretty scary and uncomfortable but when girls are screaming it is terrifying. This happened again and then Marydonna and Gabby brought over the mushroom that the boys use to practice pommel horse and they stood on it so they could be closer to me. Well it happened again and they did duck and cover. THAT HURT. Then Marydonna asked me why I always went up to vertical. Gabby asked me why I go so hard. Oh well.

I was chosen to write the Olympic Times by Mrs. A. She wants me to write it, send it to her so she can show it to Katica and it will be a real newsletter. I need to write two gymnast profiles. One on a girl in the upper levels (my class) and one on a girl in one of the lower classes. I can do one story on anything I want. We also do a column featuring girls who have done a new skill. I am very excited for the newsletter.

Mom gave me a new hair cut. It is a short haircut. It's a summertime hair cut. It's too short to put in a pony tale so I will use clips.

Dark day: behind the scenes.

Well I'm not sleeping in the basement. It's cold down there. I also like to be a particular temperature to fall asleep. I fall asleep quickly but it's harder to get out of the bed! To warm and cozy : -) They'll be sleeping down there for a long time.

Dark Day

Dark, cloudy and all together miserable. It was the type of day that makes you wake up, snuggle up and go back to sleep. Well, that's what one would LIKE to do, but the Leibig kids had school to do. It went on like most sunny days would for Theresa. She got school done quickly. It was not rainy YET so she played with her friends, Kimberly and Eliana. Eliana told her it would there might be a tornado. At the dinner table when Dad commented on the clouds Theresa said there might be a tornado tonight. Joey and Julie freaked out and decided to sleep in the basement. Theresa decided to sleep in her room and slept well. The younger children slept in. They decided to sleep in the basement until Theresa joined them. They never slept in their beds again.
