Gymnastics: Session 3, Week 2

Apparently I forgot to write an update for gymnastics last week, so here it is!  Miss Lina had a helper last week named Adam, who tried to be great with the kids but Peanut was not having any of it.  Every time he came around her, she froze.  She would just stare at him and stand there until he walked away, then she would do all of the exercises like she was supposed to.

The class started off with a floor obstacle course which was a lot of fun for the kids.  A forward roll, some donkey kicks, some frog hops, a cartwheel exercise, some hopping, letter puzzle, etc.  The kids went through two or three times each.

After the obstacle course we moved to bars.  Unfortunately Adam's luck didn't change there because he dropped Peanut during the forward roll on the bar - she doesn't always hang on and he wasn't fully prepared.  That earned him the evil eye from the kiddo.  Ha!  The kids also moved from side to side on the mini bar set and then worked with Miss Lina on toes to the bar on the large bar set.

From there we went to beam/another floor combo.  With seven kids in the class last week they needed more than just two beams to keep the kiddos occupied.  Peanut did great!  Climbing up the ladder, jumping down off the mat, forward rolls, etc. on floor and walking on toes/forward roll on the low beam with kicks on the high beam.  She's really come a long way since the beginning.

Then we went to trampoline, Peanut's favorite :).  We ended on tumble track and the kids jumped into the pit.  Peanut was fantastic!

Tomorrow is another gymnastics lesson.  Grandma is coming to watch and then she is taking Peanut home with her, since we get to have our first appointment for Beeble tomorrow.  I'm really excited and a little nervous.  I hope we get to see Beeble on an ultrasound!
