Hand painting and gymnastic observation

We did hand painting in school today. At first I didn’t like the feeling of the paint on my hand. I have always been quite finicky about being clean. Even at home I never got into finger-painting or anything like that. It even took me a long time to get used to playing in the sand because I kept wanting to wipe my hands clean. But after a while I got used to the paint and had fun. I made some pretty cool hand prints too.

We had a gymnastics class again today, and again I opted to observe the class from the sidelines. I’m quite hesitant…resistant…well, let’s just say it: stubborn. I decided not to try this new thing and I’m sticking to my decision. My teachers are very understanding and don’t push, but they always ask if I want to participate. I always say that I want to watch.
