Aila graduated from the "Look @ Me I'm 3" gymnastics program at Guelph Saultos just before Christmas. It was the first gymnastics class that she did all by herself, without a parent there to help her. She scored well in all categories except the bars, which she doesn't really like doing.

She is definitely getting older. She has developed a passion for band-aids, a tendency to make up stories, and a habit of refusing to look at my camera. I think this will be her last gymastics class until the summer. Driving to Guelph in the winter every weekend is a bit too much for us at the moment.

For the winter, Aila is taking swimming lessons (which she also does without a parent to help her) and she has started Highland Dance lessons as well.
