I just got done filling out the first of 3 applications sitting on my desk. It was one that has been on our minds for YEARS, but until recently, we had no clue of how we would afford to do it. Our girls want to do Gymnastics for their chosen sport.
To some, this is nothing new. Kids love to throw their bodies around and learn to do cool tricks. For my girls, this is monumental! We have a genetic skin condition, that causes the skin to blister and tear very easily. Something like a day in Gymnastics could be the ruination of all our hard efforts to keep them healed up and wound free.
One local Gym has a program for Special Needs kids, though. It is paid for through a Grant, offering a scholarship to special needs children to use Gymnastics to build muscle tone, balance, coordination and self confidence. WOOOHOOO!! They will adapt the lessons to my children's needs, and they will get the thrills of tumbling that I could only imagine as a child!!
I'll let you know how that goes as we get closer to knowing more :)
Today, we're going on a field trip. We need to locate 2 libraries, apply for library cards, (pray there is no lingering fines) and look into these Homeschool Kits that one of our Librarians put together for the local Homeschoolers :-D One Library has a park around it, so perhaps a picnic lunch is in order too?? Oh, why not? I better get packing! *poof*
