Gymnastics

G started taking a Gymnastics class back in February

.
She was SUUUUUPER excited :)

She jumped right into her class mid-semester and had a great time...except she was really afraid of flipping over the bar even with the instructor spotting her.  And by "afraid," I mean frozen stiff, completely unwilling! So, based on the advise of her instructor, we started practicing (on the playground at church).  She was still pretty resistant until C did this...


I don't know if it was his assurances  that flipping over the bar "is sooo much fun," or the fact that she REALLY can't stand to be outdone by her big brother, but within minutes she'd conquered that fear :)



That was a lot easier than I thought :)

Today was "Parent Sit In Day" at Gymnastics.  I now know why they only let us sit in once a semester...it TOTALLY distracted the kids...but it was still fun :)






This is another area of growth...in February she was afraid to climb out on this bar and drop down into the "cheese pit."






I doubt we have any Olympic Gold Medals in our future anytime soon, but she DID have a lot of fun :)
