Gymnastics

Maggie has been taking gymnastics for three weeks, and she LOVES it! It is the perfect combination of girlie for me and adventurous for her.

Coach Todd is so sweet and patient with the babies. The classes include some songs and play on the floor with balls, musical instrument, and the parachute to warm up. Next the babies complete a few rounds on the obstacle courses with balance beams, climbing across barriers, hanging/swinging on the bars, and some tumbling with parent support.

Maggie's favorite parts are the balance beams and the exercise ball that she jumps on while holding my hands.

I am amazed how quickly Maggie catches onto the different activities. She will follow me around the obstacle courses and really listens to direction. But if Coach Todd give her praise or direction, she suddenly becomes shy and tucks her head down. :)

The class ends with jumping and songs on the trampoline and bubbles. I cannot wait to see how Maggie develops in her gymnastics class. Next stop, the Olympics!!
