Our Gymnast!






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.
