gymanstics!

Whats cuter than a two year old in a purple leotard?

Nothing!

Maddie started taking gymnastics and a local gym on Saturday mornings. She's in the Tiny Beamers Class (18 months- 3 yrs). So far they've walked on the balance beam, jumped on the trampoline, jumped on the springboards, jumped in the pit, and even done handstands!!!

The teachers are fabulous and do a great job with the little ones. At this age - mommy or daddy has to do the class with them so Ive been out there on the floor with her. I soooo want to try and throw a round off backhandspring one day and see if I still got it. Im sure they wouldnt look too fondly on that.

Here's a pic of Daddy, Caroline and Maddie waiting for Maddie's class to begin.

She's really enjoying it overall. She's always shy at the beginning during warm-ups, but she warms up by the end. She's still our shy little girl but every week I see her getting more confident and courageous out there.

Unfortunately her class is right during Caroline's morning naptime so its usually just me there with her and its impossible to take pictures. If Jim comes along again- we'll make sure to take more shots!
