Gymnastics, Session 3 Week 3

Today was a pretty good gymnastics lesson!  The class started late, but once we got going Peanut did really well :).  Miss A and her mom came for the first time today and I think she had fun, so that's good.  Grandma M came to watch and Peanut loved that!

The group started on floor with an obstacle course.  Forward rolls up a wedge mat (new this week) and down another wedge mat, cartwheel stations, straddle jumps over cones, walking across the floor beam, and hops with their feet together over french fry mats.  Peanut walked all the way across the floor beam by herself today (YAY!) and managed to do the forward roll up the wedge mat with minimal assistance.  She did great!

Then we went to bars.  Forward rolls on the single bar, walking across the first set of uneven bars, and then another forward roll on the low bar with swings from the high bar on the second set.  Peanut was a rockstar today.  She did it all and she held on well!

From there we went to beam/floor.  Large steps on the low beam with kicks on the high beam and on floor they did forward rolls, hops, climbing up the ladder, jumping down, and hopscotch.  Peanut did okay on this station but we weren't there for long and she gave a little bit of resistance (nothing much, though).

Then the kids did trampoline and tumble track.  Although Peanut didn't do the doggie drops that Miss Lina requested, she jumped fabulously and had a blast in the foam pit. 

Great day!
