Gym time
I have spent the last three days shuttling the girls back and forth to the gym between their regular class and make ups we have been to the gym seven times in the last ten days. The girls love it and it keeps us out of trouble but I am glad we are taking some time off.
The girls have really gained some fabulous skills and have become so strong since we started there. Lior has mastered the basket hang on the bar, does forward rolls from a stand, walks across the beam without assistance and is starting to do forward rolls on the beam! Her ability to follow directions and stay with the group really improved as well. She learned to take risks, safely.
Sydney is no slouch either. She also does forward rolls from a stand, crab walks on the parallel bars, walks across the beam and did a basket hang for the very first time yesterday. The picture is not very good but she had her feet up there! Sydney has really started to listen to directions and follow along with the group and will do things without Lior.
Jordan is amazing. I think the child is one huge muscle. I really do not know who she takes after! She is always eager to swing on the bars and is the first child at an apparatus when they are looking to demonstrate a skill. She holds on to the bar and pulls herself up like a super star. I was planning on taking the summer off but she has really opened up to all the instructors in the past few weeks and is making such progress I might just take her to the gym once the big girls start camp.
At the end of class this week the girls each received a certificate of accomplishment and they could not have been happier.
