Grace in Gymnastics

Grace started Gymnastic the first week of June. It has been so much fun! The first week was classic Grace. Totally cooperative and excited for about the first 15 minutes, and then she was so naughty. She didn't want to do anything the teacher told her to do but when they went on with out her she would get totally upset. She would fold her arms and "hmph" and walk away and wander around. So all the next week we had long talks about how we listen to the teacher and do what she says. The next week she was perfect! (also bribed by a piece of Gum...but it worked!) She has been fairly good since and is loving it! Here she is with her class. Her little friend Hattie is on the left, I love having Hattie's mom Tomie there to talk to during class.

(She is in the black....she picked it out herself. They had a pink one but she wanted the black which totally surprised me!)

Here she is looking up and saying "HI MOMMY!!!!" She does this at least 10 times per class. If one kid does it another one has too. It's like yawning- contagious!
Here she is doing one of her little routines. I love how she moves the circles so they are closer. Also check out the little boy and his somersault! He's pretty good.


I am so glad we decided to put her in gymnastics this summer! It has really taught her how to participate in a class and listen to directions and to someone besides me. Good preparation for Preschool this fall and other fun classes!
