Gymnastics

Today was Rylie's last gymnastic night and it was a night for the whole family where they went over everything they learned. Here is Rylie striking a pose before going in. Yes I am fully aware that her outfit totally rocks but she picked it out and there was NO changing her mind about it--WHATEVER!

Here is Rylie and her friend Ashley following instructions from teacher. I am not sure what they were suppose to be doing because Ashley has her hands on her head, and Rylie has hers on her knees.

Here they are sitting waiting for the "disc color" they are sitting on to be called out so they can do their trick.

Here is Rylie showing her "ready" position.

This is her doing her log roll--she did really well at this.

This is Rylie doing the seal walk, not to brag, but she did the best by far and it was so cute.

Here she is doing the crab walk--I am sure all of this leads into something useful, just not sure what that is. She had fun doing it all though.

And finally the cartwheels! She wanted to take gymnastics so bad so she could learn to do a cartwheel. I kept trying to teach her and was not successful at it but she finally learned how and she is a cartwheel maniac, she is always doing them all over our house.

Here they did certain jumps into the hoop. I love the way she is looking up at her teacher for validation and approval. Such a sweet and innocent look.

Here is how they warmed up for cartwheels and practiced them before doing them on the main mat.
Overall, Rylie had such a blast doing gymnastics and looked forward to going to class every time. Her teacher was even hoping she was 4 so that she could be bumped up to the 5-8 yr old class because she just ate it up and was ready for more. Too bad she is not old enough to go to the older class, but for now she doesn't know better and loves it.
