1st Day of Gymnastics

Well, for quite some time, Jaylyn has asked to try gymnastics. In fact we have a hilarious video clip from a good year or two ago of Jaylyn after watching some gymnastics competition on tv. She was re-enacting the competition, complete with a bowl to get the chalky stuff on her hands. Too funny!

Anyway, her friend, Natalie, invited her to a friend day at one of her gymnastics classes and now Jaylyn is for sure hooked. All the way home she kept saying, "I want to go there! I want to go there!"

Well, for our current situation with a baby almost here and it being her first try at gymnastics, we decided on a local class that her preschool teacher actually teaches. AND she knows the other little girls in the class. They do a great job really working on the basic tumbling techniques which Jaylyn needs since she hasn't done it before. And it is a perfect sized group for each of these little ones to get plenty of practice and instruction. Today was the first day and Jaylyn was very giddy! :) Let's just say, the opposite response than time for her t-ball games. Hee hee! (No she is not quite convinced that t-ball is that great.) So, here are a few pics of her in action. Once again, not the best turn out in the room lighting. . .

Arms up! Getting ready for a front limber.

Working on a cart wheel.

Adley getting some balance beam "scooting" action while Jaylyn was having class.

Some toe touches on the trampoline.

Not sure about going BACKWARDS on the balance beam but eventually got it.

At home doing her homework from Ms. Sheila. Bridge!
She was pretty excited to have homework. :)
