We are currently doing a segment on creation for our prayer theme with the kids. It's so cute to talk to the kids about what God made and to hear their answers. One of the coaches asked his class what God made on the first day. One of his little boys said, "swimmin' pools!" I always try to play a little guessing game with my kids if they don't know what God made on which day. For instance, I might ask what God made on the first day and then say, "it helps us see when it's dark". My favorite answer to that question is, "flashlights". Or when I tell the kids that on the 3rd day God made that stuff that we walk around on, since we can't walk on water. The most popular answer: SIDEWALKS!
On a different note, we recently received a little girl from a gym across town who got kicked out of their program. As the story goes, that gym changed their practice times to the mornings for the summer and this little girl couldn't make it because she lives an hour away and had no ride. So anyways, we got her. She's a little quirky, likes to talk a lot, and came with a huge fear issue of catching the high bar...but as things usually go, those kinds of kids are the most rewarding to coach. She has turned into one of my favorite kids. Just this week she got over her fear and is looking fabulous on all of the other events. One of our coaches knows some of the kids from the other gym and asked the other day if they knew this particular kid. Their answer was, "oh, you mean that stinky kid who won't catch the high bar?" I can't wait for that "stinky kid" to kick their booties at meets this season.
