Today was Maddie's first day of gymnastics. She had not even an ounce of apprehension when it was time for class to begin. She went with her teacher and the 3 other little girls in her class and had a blast. Maddie watched inquisitively what her teacher was showing her as well as what the other classes were doing - taking it all in. I quickly noticed that she didn't mind her teacher helping her with a skill the first time it was introduced but after that she wanted to master it on her own without assistance. Forward rolls, Backward rolls, back bends, balance beam, parallel bars - she did it all and wanted to do so much more. Some of the little girls in her class were scared at some of the activities and were a little apprehensive to take their turn - Maddie, always wanting it to be her turn, took advantage of that and sometimes had 3 and 4 turns to her classmates 1 and 2 turns.
Watch out 2016 Olympics!!!!
I will post a couple of videos in a separate post.
