Technically today (Wednesday) is day one this week because there was no class on Monday due to the holiday. Peanut did much better today than she did last week, thank goodness! She was so funny this morning because as soon as we turned down the road that the gymnastics center is located off of, she repeatedly threw her arms up in the air and said Ta-Da! Over and over. She probably did it twenty times as we drove in. Goofy girl :).
Class today started with the bug matching game again, and Peanut was sooooo not interested. I think it's just above her age group. She picked up a bug card or two but then just ran around instead of trying to find the match. Some of the other parents were trying to help get her attention, but she just wanted to play on the wedge mat. Oh well.
From the intro we went to beam, and Peanut did great!! She did forward rolls with Miss Lina on the floor beam, she really tried to jump over the targets on the mid beam, and she walked backward mostly by herself on the higher beam. She did the whole series twice and I was so proud!
After beam, the class did bars. Peanut didn't hang on so well today on bars, but she tried. She did the forward roll/flip on the bar, clapping feet like butterfly wings, and toes to the bar two to three times each, before the group moved to floor.
On floor, Peanut did all of the rotations twice. She rolled up and down the wedge mat, she did the grasshopper chirp really well, she jumped like a frog onto the stacked mats, and then squashed the bug really strongly (yay Peanut!). She also walked her feet up the mat to do handstands with my help.
Following floor the class did something new - they took turns on the rock wall and climbing rope. Peanut did each once and she did try, but Miss Lina and I did most of the work. Haha. Oh well, she'll get there.
After the rock wall/rope climb, the class went to trampoline where Peanut did some great jumping and seat drops. She also tried a couple of doggie drops/jumps (onto hands and knees). Then the kids got stamps and we went on our way. Hooray for a good day!
