Week 4, Day 2

Peanut had another great day at gymnastics!  She's really getting the hang of waiting her turn and listening and being part of the group, which I love.  Today the kids started out playing on the real gym floor, trying to jump through hula hoops that we rolled around.  Peanut was a little young (as were the other kids) to really get the idea that she was supposed to jump through, but she was walking through the hoop if I stood it up on its side.  The moms were all laughing because the kids were awfully cute trying to do what they were supposed to!

After floor, we went to bars.  Peanut did great with the flip around the bar, walking across the mini uneven bars, and then doing chin ups on the larger uneven bar set.  She also walked across the floor beam by herself for the most part.  She did the rotation three times until it was time to switch.  She was so happy and talkative the whole time!

From bars we went to beam.  Miss Lina switched things up today and the kids hopped on and off of the floor beam, walked backwards across the low beam, and did "scoops" across the high beam.  Peanut needed help for the floor beam, but did awesome across the low beam, and then did scoops with a lot of help for half of a pass on the high beam until Miss Lina said she could just walk across it - then she did great with that!  Peanut did two full passes through the beam rotation and then took a mini break before it was time for trampoline.

On trampoline our kiddo was awesome - getting off of the trampoline on multiple occasions and trying to do seat drops like the other kids.  The group also did something new toward the end, where they all held onto a hula hoop and sat on the trampoline while Miss Lina bounced them.  There were lots of giggles from the group and the kids had a ton of fun.

After trampoline was tumble track for one pass and then stamps.  Peanut made it all the way down the tumble track (still working on jumping down it instead of running) and I threw her in the pit at the end.  She loved it - huge smiles.  A great day all around!

Just so that I don't forget when she gets older, here are the breakdowns of the kids in her gymnastics class each day:

Monday - Braelyn, Addison, and I'm forgetting the other names at the moment.  I will have to update later

Wednesday - Cole, Isla, Virginia (Ginny), Abigail
