Corinne's birthday party this year was at the Redmond Gymnastics Academy. Her whole preschool was invited as well as cousins and friends who live in town. It was a rainbow themed party (as is all the rage these days). The fruit plate was a rainbow, the miniature cakes were literally rainbows in a jar, and the kids were asked to come wearing their favorite color of the rainbow. The kids just loved all the action of running, jumping, balancing and playing around on the various trampolines, mats and bars. The absolute favorite seemed to be the gigantic pit of foam you could jump into and try your darndest to get out of. Corinne had a blast as did all the kids!
Corinne and Patty about the jump in the foam pit. Corinne really believed in the buddy system for this event. Eventually she became brave enough to jump solo (see later pic) in which, everyone in the place cheered.

Corinne is 5 now! My have the years flown. The many things that Corinne can do, her bubbling personality along with her stature seem to have sprouted overnight. Perhaps, because the gradual changes are so easy to miss. Corinne, being the seriously, funny little thing that she is, brought this point home with her own observance. She came home from church today toady and said, "I thought my hands would be bigger now that I'm 5." I said to her, "Do you think your hands are small?" In which she said, "Well, they're the SAME size!"
Things Corinne loves to do at age 5 include: anything "artsy," play with her pricesses (and she has a lot), help with cooking or baking, help with household chores (I'm sure that will grow old fast), play dress-up, do ballet, take a toy with her whever she may go, attend preschool, sing, take long naps and stay up late, and laugh out loud (the thing which she does best of all!)
