My Little Gymnast

We had out last session of gymnastics this morning for another month or so. There is a class over the summer that I think we might sign her up for because she just absolutely loves gymnastics. This class would be a little more structured and with a different coach, but it's worth a try. If she doesn't like it we'll wait until the fall and start back with the same coach again. She adores the coach and loves to try all the things that Coach Kay is working on.


Pull Ups


Toe Touches

Her favorite part of class is swinging on the bar. She uses it to swing, do pull ups and even toe touches. Generally the coach is there with her, but it's more to keep Erin's form. Erin does most all of the strength work all on her own.


Log Rolls

They also have several climbing zones set up across the room and Erin loves to climb around and jump down. Today they also worked on log rolls down a wedge-shaped mat. She giggled and giggled and kept getting in line to do it over and over again.


Climbing Zone

Erin's also grown to LOVE the parachute. The first session of class we attended Erin tried it out and freaked. So for the rest of that session of classes she stayed on the outside of the parachute. Now Erin will run to sit in the middle of it and even gets under it when we poof it above her head. She squeals and laughs so hard when the puff of air gets her face. It's adorable.

So I'm loving the fact that this is something that Erin really seems to enjoy. It's the one thing that gets her up in the morning and to go to bed the night before. I'm sure we're going to find a way to keep with this as long as Erin keeps loving it.
