Gymnastics!!

Lately Alyssa has been very active and wanting to try new things like swinging from trees, hanging upside down, dancing and all kinds of activitites. So we thought we'd try signing her up for Gymnastics classes. It was the only activity she could do before she turned 3 or 4. On Saturday we went and watched a class and Alyssa was jumping at the bits to do what the big girls were doing. She wanted to swing from the uneven bars, she wanted to run on the floor. We ended up with the 3-5 year olds class and she loved it. We had the 45 minute class and she wanted more and more. So we signed her up. Her classes are on Monday nights. Since then she has come home and pulled out my yoga mat. She does her somersaults, donkey kicks and other moves on the mat. She loves it.

The picture above is of her doing her donkey kicks on the mat. The picture below is Alyssa doing her straddles.

Then this is her progression of her somersaults.

I'm so glad we have found something that she likes. She talks about it alot and can't wait to go to her classes.
