Today was a big day for Liesl. I picked her up this morning and she was able to sleep in till nine. At nine thirty we had story time at the local library. We sang and and played with a ball and heard a story read to us by the librarian. Liesl was a little shy but seemed to enjoy the experience. We went home to have breakfast and pick up the Ota and grandad.

Gymnastics school was next. Liesl seemed to enjoy the balance beam the best. She liked walking along it holding on to Oma's hands. She especially liked the soft mat at the end because it was very colorful and had shapes and numbers on it. The teacher said it was unusual for her to gravitate so much to the balance beam and commented on her ability to do so well on her first try. She did not care for rolling or some of the other activities. She did however love the parachute when she got the hang of raising it in the air in unison with the other kids.

Grandad tooks us both to lunch after gymnastics and we went to get groceries after that. She is very tired now and is taking a nap.
