Gynnastics

Reese has been in gymnastics now for 3 months and has loved it. She asks almost everyday if she gets to go to "gynnastics" today? It's funny how when your kids are little, people watch them and say, "Oh, she is going to be a little dancer" or " "He is going to be a great football player". With Reese, everyone has always said she is going to be a great gymnast. Why would they say that........I think there are a few reasons............

1. Ever since she was little, she has always loved to jump and flip

2. She is fearless 

3. She has the highest pain tolerance of any kid I know

4. She is naturally coordinated

5. She is really strong ( she seriously has a little 6 pack)

6. She has lots of energy

7. She is just....BOUNCY

 The first couple classes, I was wondering if I should wait another 6 months before putting her in a class. She had a difficult time listening and was throwing a few tantrums. I quickly realized that the time of the class wasn't the greatest for Reese and so we switched to a morning class and she has done great. She loves wearing her leotard and would wear it everyday if she could. She has really learned a lot and I can tell she is getting stronger at holding herself up. She loves to hold herself up on the bars and kick the balloons that are hanging from the tall bar.  She loves to jump in the pit, diving forward rolls, and walk on the beam. It will be interesting to see if Reese sticks with it. She loves it so far and it has been fun watching her just have fun and make new friends.
