Gymnastics Class

Madeline walked frontwards and backwards across the beam





Daddy's birthday gift to Madeline this year was Gymnastics Class. She will attend once a week for 10 weeks. Today was her first visit and she loved it! The parents sit upstairs and watch the class from a balcony. Madeline walked across the balance beam frontwards and backwards, learned to hang from the bars and use her muscles to pull her legs straight up and she was taught to do a somersault. She doesn't want to tuck her head so the coach has to work with her on the rolling and we need to do lots of somersault practicing at home this week.
She did very well at listening and following instruction but I had to laugh several times because as soon as Coach Mitch took his eyes off her, she would run and hang on the bars or get on the trampoline!
