Gymnastics

Drew and Livvy are each taking a gym class and we decided to enroll them another round for August.

Drew's class has 2 or 3 kids besides him and he's really learning how to follow multiple-step instruction and patience while waiting his turn. Teacher Melissa says he's quite flexible and definately strong and has mastered a sommersault and backbend. He enjoys it!

Livvy started out in a class with 2 other kids but quickly got frustrated waiting her turn and required a LOT of demonstrations which took time away from the other kids. The teacher decided to switch her day/time and it ended up being a new class with the Director as a private lesson. She did pretty well the first time and FANTASTIC last week! She does several long obstacle courses, has great balance and can run like a greyhound..phew! She sure does give her teacher a run for her money! The goal is to slowly add a child into the class once she's mastered simple skills so she doesn't feel so overwhelmed/anxious.
