Tonight I took Sylvia to gymnastics by herself, and Jeremy took Annah and Caeden to get pizza and then home. The gym's teams were all away for a competition, so there were only the little kid's classes going on. The gym was pretty open, and they let me out on the floor to follow Sylvie's class around and take pictures!
practicing her handstands
bridge!
This teacher, Kayla, reminded Sylvia to put her hands up and say, "Ta-da!" after she finished each thing.

kick the cone
the class taking a little break and listening to Miss Kayla for instructions on what to do next
Sylvia has been very afraid of the high beam so far. Some of the teachers will allow her to hold their hand while going across, and some make her do it on her own while staying close by. She seems to be getting braver, and says she prays to Jesus when she is scared up there.
side-stepping on the medium beam
the whole class moving to the next activity
Class is over. Everyone gets a stamp on her hand, and bubbles for everyone to pop! These smelled like banana!
Gymnastics has been really good for Sylvia. She really enjoys it, and says she wants to do it for "lots of years." Tonight it was especially fun to watch her helping a couple of the girls who were new, and being the one to show them how to do things! We were thinking gymnastics would just be for a few sessions this summer, but she likes it so much, and it's been so good for her confidence, we may try to find a way to continue.
