Gymnastics

Last week we enrolled Lindsay in gymnastics through Malibu Parks and Recreation for a 10 class trial to see if she liked it. She really wanted to do ballet, but the age requirement is 4 years, so we have to wait a couple of years. This is a beginning gymnastics class, and they did light stretching, and then an obstical course with fun things like a trampoline, balance beam, and slide. She even did somersalts in her very first class!!

For the first class the coach wanted to take the Mommy-and-Me approach. You can tell by what I am wearing that I wasn't expecting to be doing gymnastics with her, but I got some good stretching in, or as good as jeans will allow :)

She took the class very seriously, and listened and followed intructions really well. Much better than a lot of kids older than her. The coach commented, "Wow! She is so focused for a two year old!" She is definitely our child. LOL

She is such a little peanut, so much smaller than all the other kids, even ones her own age.

Going for the GOLD!! Not the metal, rather a booger. LOL

Coach "Tom Tom" giving her a good job stamp at the end of class. Let's just say he is quite the character; but he is really good with the kids.

Daddy and Sister came to watch her first class! 

It was really fun to watch her in class. Although it is only one 45 minute class a week, I feel like it is such a big-kid thing to do! It dawned on us that this is the first of trying out many activities.  It's funny; every kid has their own thing: I enjoyed ballet, my sister was a great cheerleader and my brother loved tennis. I can tell that whatever she chooses to do, she will try her very best!  We are so proud of our big girl!
