Gymnastics

We decided to enroll Addie in gymnastics for the summer to give her and Daddy a fun activity to do together, and she has absolutely loved it!  It has been 9 weeks of trampolines, balance beams, mats, bars and more!

The first week started off a little rough, it took Addie awhile to realize that she had to follow directions and stick with what the class was doing and could not just run from one fun apparatus to the next. We spent the week talking about "listening to your teacher Miss Erica" and "FREEZE! Hands on your knees" and the second week was much smoother!

Practicing on her trampoline at home, she loves going out on the porch to show off her flips!  "Look at me, I did it!" is her favorite phrase right now.

She seems to be pretty coordinated and does really well crossing the "noodle beam."

Besides the big trampoline, Addie most likes the bars that she can swing on and flip upside down.  Overall gymnastics was a great learning experience and a great bargaining tool for us, "You better eat a good dinner if you want to go to gymnastics!"  Now will have to think of something new!
