Our Little Gymnast

Since our first round of gymnastics over the winter, we knew that Hannah loves it! After a break this spring, we decided to sign up again for the summer. We switched to a morning class which gave both of us something to look forward to each week. We were also able to go with some friends I teach with and their daughters. Hannah enjoyed seeing her friends each week at class. It was definitely one of our favorite days of the week! Hannah would wake up every Wednesday and start yelling "Na-Ni!" (her word for gymnastics). I have really enjoyed watching her get better every week. Not only are her skills improving, but she is also learning to listen to her teacher and follow directions. By this winter, she will be in the "big girl" class by herself. She wasn't being extremely photogenic on this day, but these were still good shots of our little gymnast.

One of her favorite things to do each week was climb and jump. Hannah loves going as high as possible and jumping off. She isn't scared one bit! This is one of the balance beams for the little ones. Hannah got pretty confident on them throughout the summer. She even started letting go the last little bit and walking by herself.

This was another big accomplishment that Hannah made this summer. Over the winter, she would only go up a couple of the rungs of this fireman's ladder. By the end of the summer, she made it to the top, over it (with some help from me) and down the other side. What a big girl!

We are already signed up for the next session. I can't wait to see the growth Hannah make over the next 10 weeks!
