Our Little Gymnast

Solana has been enrolled in gymnastics for the last 6 months.  She goes twice a week and loves it!! (She also does soccer twice a week, but I don't have photos of that, oops!  Probably because when we go to soccer, I'm on the field kicking and running with her!) 
It has been great to watch her improve, especially since sometimes you wonder how much they pick up with the limited attention span that an almost 3 year old has.  Her coaches are great and they always do such a variety of things.  She is great at her summersaults (called rolls in little kid gymnastics parlance) and she loves the balance beam.  These are photos that Adam took of her (I have been missing her classes lately because I've been home with Boston) and so he snapped some photos of her doing some of her tricks. At the end of each six-week "semester" they do a show for the parents and get a ribbon.  If you have ever watched the show Wipeout, just picture that but with 2 and 3 year olds and you can have an idea about what a typical gymnastics class can look like.  I'm just kidding, I should give her more credit.  Solana is surprisingly good at gymnastics for her little age!







Do you see the obstacle course behind her? Yeah a mini Wipeout course - so much fun for a little person!
