Gymnastics

Alayna had her first gymnastics class last Tuesday. She was SO excited and surprised me that she wasn't nervous or anything to try something new. The kids begin by stretching. Some kids did it by themselves and some parents joined the kids so Brad helped her warm up. They split into groups and went through each station. The coach showed them the first station which was to hop down a trampoline, free fall onto a mat, hop on and off a pedestal, walk on a beam on the floor and then crawl through a tunnel. No one wanted to go first and then Alayna raised her hand to volunteer! Brad & I were shocked as usually she is more of a follower than leader. She did really good for the first night and even saw one of her preschool friends there. She is looking forward to going again this week!

Getting instructions.......

Brad & Alayna stretching

Walking on the balance beam. At one point she fell and landed on her tummy. Brad said she got tears in her eyes but then got right up and kept going. He was so proud of his little Peanut. =)
