The library summer reading program rewards participants with "book bucks," which the kids use to buy things (trinkets, restaurant coupons, activity passes).  Emma spent a chunk of her reading money on a free gymnastics lesson at a local academy.  She was an excellent listener and followed every direction given by the coach.  Emma enjoyed the 45-minute session so much that we decided to sign her up for summer lessons.  Even though they are just three years old, her classmates were wearing leotards.  So immediately following this first lesson, we went out to get Emma her own.
