gymnastics

The few times we've caught gymnastics on TV, Taylor has loved it!  She runs and puts on her American flag swimsuit and comes out to the living room to do gymnastics too.  A few times Daddy has made her a temporary balance beam in the garage, promising that one day he will make her a real one.
She begs us to help her do cartwheels and flips.  We try to talk her into just doing somersaults.  We're not really sure how to help her do a flip - in a safe way.

She's been begging to start gymnastics class, so we finally got her enrolled in one.
Saturday was her first class.


 Thanks so cousin Sydney, she already knew how to do a bridge!
 This little guy has to wait his turn for Tae-kwon-do in March.
So for now, he just sits and watches patiently and perfectly.
Haha, who am I kidding.  Luckily there are some fun things to keep him busy.

Her teacher is absolutely wonderful with the kids!  It was so fun to watch.
 She was very serious the whole time.  Not many smiles.
But we are learning that that is her personality in new places with new people.
But we could still tell she was loving it. And she was definitely all smiles afterwards.

Gymnastics is a sport one of our granddaughters loves. It's really great for them. I always say she came out of the womb doing cartwheels. Still amazes me anyone can do that!
