Gymnastics

All of the boys have been doing gymnastics for awhile now, and with all of the classes Sophie has watched she always says, "I want to do gymnastics!" So she was finally allowed to do a trial class in Garett's class which is meant for ages 4-9. Garett started in that class when he was 3 going on 4, and Sophie is quite a bit younger since she won't be 3 until September, and is already starting, but she is so flexible and already seems so interested. She definitely seems to have some natural talent when it comes to gymnastics, so we will see what happens! They were impressed with her ability to listen and follow directions (most of the time ;) ) so they allowed her to join the class. She's been going and absolutely loves it! Sometimes her attention span is a little short when waiting her turn, but as she's gotten used to it, she is doing much better at staying in her class and less time running out to mommy. :)

Sophie can get herself up on the wall like this in order to stretch and can get up on the bar and pull her legs up all on her own. She is strong for such a tiny thing. She also enjoys jumping on the trampoline and practicing her forward rolls. We'll see if we have a little gymnast on our hands!
