Lily started gymnastics lessons last week at the YMCA. She finished up swimming and asked to take dance or gymnastics. I decided on gymnastics because it was a shorter time frame. It is only 8 weeks and I think the dance session was twice as long? I figured if she doesn't like it at least it is only once a week for a couple of months. It is a class of about 10 3-5 year olds and they really don't do much. They learn how to do somersaults (front and backwards), stretch, splits and walk on the balance beam. I don't think it is even called "gymnastics" ...it is called "Little Tumblers". She liked swimming so much and she moved on to the next level, so I think at the end of summer (when they can't be outside in the pool) I will sign her up for the next session. I enjoy watching her interact with the other kids and staff and having fun. She can be shy at times (do you believe that?!) and she sits back sometimes and doesn't hop up in line for her turn. She lets the other kids keep going ahead of her, but I'm sure she will get more brave in time! Last week I heard her telling the teacher that "I'm 3 1/2 and I have a baby sister named Avery!" That is my Silly Lily!
