Tressa and Corbin have been taking gymnastics classes for the past several months and have both really enjoyed it. Maybe it's in their blood! (I was a competitive gymnast during my grade school days. I decided to quit when it got to the point where I had to decide if gymnastics would be my whole life. I also was getting a little too tall. The final straw was an injury that kept me off my feet for long enough that I felt like I couldn't catch up.) Anyway, we actually kind of stumbled upon this class. It's offered by a local community center and we thought it was going to be a dance class. Tressa showed up in her leotard and tutu and we were a bit confused by all the gymnastics equipment. I asked Tressa if she wanted to give it a try and ever since she's been asking me if it's Thursday yet because she can't wait to go to gymnastics. Then I found out about a class for kids Corbin's age that was right after Tressa's. Since he was already trying to take over the gym each week anyway, I decided to sign him up too. This is my first attempt at video clips on the blog, but I thought it might be fun to see them in action, so here goes....
Here's Tressa's bridge. She was very proud to be the only one in her class that could do it all by herself.
Tressa sitting on the beam...
doing her butterfly pose...
a handstand...
a somersault on the beam...
hanging from the bars...
and sitting with the whole gang (they're supposed to be making silly faces, but Tressa blew a kiss instead)
Corbin jumping on the trampoline...one of his favorite things about gymnastics!
Oh yes, he also loved the balls...
and anything involving jumping...
and here he is on the bars...
Tressa loved showing Corbin how to do everything and praising him for every little thing. Here she is giving him a big hug after he did a new trick on the bars.
Such cute little monkeys!
