Raina likes to exercise!

Raina really enjoys jumping and rolling and crawling and all sorts of activity. After a whole afternoon of Raina doing rolls and jumps on the yoga mat, we realized that she should take a gymnastics class, so we enrolled her in a local school. She loves it, although, she fully admits, "it makes me really tired, Mommy." In fact, after her last class, she got in the car and said "Time for Quiet Time, Mommy," and then she walked quickly to her bed and crashed for the next three hours.

Also, Raina has finally developed the leg length to bike her Big Wheel with ease. She can bike to the Ross Playground, play there, and then bike home. She's really slow going up the hills -- and often needs a helpful shove from a parent to get some momentum -- but she speeds down the hills. We actually have to jog to keep up with her. But, again, she gets home and sleeps for ages. Her little three year-old body can only take so much without collapsing.
