Gymnastics

Lyndsey started taking gymnastic lessons again last school year.  She was very excited to start back this year!  I was excited that Colleen would get to go to the 2 year old class, because  containing her for her sister's hour class 2 times a week was quite an undertaking!  Lauren begged to take gymnastics with them this year.  I figured it was better for her to exercise than sit and watch them for an hour, and our center discounts each sibling so the price was right.

Colleen was not thrilled about leaving Mom for these strange coaches but she wanted to do "nastics"!  During the first couple of classes, Colleen sat in the corner and cried.  The coaches tried to get her to join the fun and she would reply, "No! I want to do "nastics!"  After a few classes, they branched out from the "kiddie room" onto the beam and bars.  There she has come to life!!! Colleen on the beam.  

Lyndsey is Lyndsey!! She is very competitive and athletic, and she is loving everything about gymnastics.

It has been years since Lauren has participated in gymnastic, so she is having to really work at this!!!  We have learned that swimming does not build the arm muscles necessary for gymnastic!!!  She is getting better each week, and she is working on bicep curls at night!!
