Zoe has been taking gymnastics for a little while now. She really loves it... and never seems to stop tumbling and flipping around now. The girl sits upside down in her chair more often than right side up.
The parents usually aren't able to go in to watch the classes but once in while we get invited in.
Zoe is very serious about her stretching.
They teach the girls to balance on the beam. They also put bean bags on the beam to teach the girls to balance, jump over the bag, and balance again. Zoe's had a really had time learning this. She's finally getting the landing though. And Miss Kim is FABULOUS! We met her when Zoe and I started doing the Gym Baby class when Zoe was 6 months old. LOVE HER!
Getting ready to do a "donkey kick" on the low beam.
TaDa!!
You really can tell Miss Kim loves her job.
Handstands! If you can... just imagine this same position in our TV room with her feet flopped over the back of her big red chair. It's how we've gotten used to seeing her.
Zoe loves to do cartwheels now. I imagine it won't be long now before those legs are straight up in the air and she's cartwheeling around the back yard.
My little Jolly Jumper... she's becoming quit the gymnast!

yay Zoe! Four years old and already more gymnastic talent than me. ;) I always think N would LOVE gymnastics, but every time she has an opportunity she's not that into it.
Woo hoo! She looks like a natural for sure!
Emma is still trying to perfect her cartwheel...allllmost! :-) I think gymnastics is so great for the kids but I think my girls have decided they want to take a break for the summer? They seem to be not as in love with it the past few months. So we are looking into tennis (yeah!! something I CAN help them with) and golf. Both should be very interesting! :-)
So sweet! I used to teach preschool gymnastics -- and I never got tired of how proud the kids were when they mastered a new skill! She is quite the gymnast indeed -- such talent!

Absolutely more gymnastic talent than me too. Although... I used to be able to do a pretty mean cartwheel! The thought of trying to do a cartwheel now makes me a little nervous. She does love it though. I really have to post a picture of her upside down tv viewing habits.

We won't do gymnastics or dance during the summer. We take off anything really indoor until September. The summer is spent at the pool and squeezing in as many vacations and beach visits as possible. I think breaks are definitely needed. That way they get excited when they get to start again.
She does get extremely proud about her gymnastics. Loves it!
