We have a general rule in this house is that you can do one sport at a time. For a long time, Evie was involved with soccer. Annalise's main sport was driving in the car to Evie's sporting events. This fall, they both asked to do gymnastics. Once the dust from the holidays settled and everyone's arms were back in working order, we enrolled them. The very best thing in my book is that they go at the exact same time so I don't have to make 2 separate trips. And I have 55 minutes to listen to pod casts and crochet whatever I want. There is a walking track there at the gym, but they also have couches and free wifi.
Annalise is really getting the hang of tumbling, but she still can't figure out the cartwheel. It's cute that she stands there for a minute or so psyching herself up and then barely gets her feet off the floor.
Evie has a good time and when she isn't distracted or goofing off, she does a pretty good job. This isn't a hard core place with strict rules and that is ok with us. The good part is they keep the kids moving and wear them out.
Another neat thing is that they put all the kids on the appartus right away. Evie hasn't fallen off the high beam yet. I think her balance is improving. It helps your confidence when the floor is padded with cooshy mats.
I am happy to say that Annalise has mastered the forward roll. See video at the end of this post
They don't let the little ones on the high beams yet. Annalise will be moving up a class in the next session and she will get to move up with older kids. I hope she gets the hang of the cartwheels.
Evie is really confident in class. We asked her how she learned to do this flip and she said she just decided to do it one day. We were impressed. I think she learned it from her trampoline days.
