Gymnastics

We signed Elaina up for gymnastics. Its a parent taught class so it's been fun for the whole family. I never did gymnastics growing up but I wanted to get her into something to see how she'd do and for the experience of it all. It's too early to tell if she'll be a superstar gymnast (kidding).

She did okay the first class. We have been a second time since then and she did much much better the 2nd time. The first time, she kept getting upset everytime the teacher told us that we were moving on to the next activity. Just when she started having fun, we'd have to stop to move on to the next activity. It was a good lesson for her though. The second time she went, she knew that just because we stopped one thing, didn't mean it was all over. We would just move on the next activity. Needless to say, she loves"nastics" - as she calls it So, I think we'll keep her in for a few more sessions. Here are some shots of the fun...

Prepping to jump on the long trampoline....

I have no idea what she's doing here...

Bunny hops across a balance beam...

Walking across the balance beam....

Hanging and swinging, her favorite...

Her forward roll.....

Blurry, but more balance beam action. You like her airplane pose??

Probably her favorite thing - the rings.

Climbing out of the tunnel. She looks mad but she is really having a good time. really.

One final pose...
