Show-Off Day at the Little Gym

Edee has been going to the Little Gym for a couple of months now. Saturday was "Show-Off Day" to end the Spring semester. She will be attending this summer, but she was ready to get the exhibition started!! FYI...she had a nice, big, orange bow before class started but Daddy was worried that it would leave a mark on her head while she was doing her forward rolls!

She has that look of intense concentration! She's ready to get this show on the road!

"Hurry up, Daddy! We're gonna be the last ones to the parallel bars!"

Mommy and Edee were doing some fun flips! She loves to do these at home. A good workout for Mommy, too!

The teacher, Ms. Karen, commented on how Edee would clap after all of her friends performed a skill. She encouraged the parents to model clapping with their kids when they see another child do something. That's our little motivational cheerleader! YEAH!!!

The Air Trek...SO COOL! You sit on it and it blows up like a giant inflatable raft. The kids all do front rolls and jump around. Edee used this opportunity to make her rounds on the social circuit!

She has been practicing her rolls at home and can almost complete one on her own. I was a dancer, NOT a gymnast, so I won't be much help beyond somersaults and cartwheels. Aunt Tee will be able to help perfect her ballerina moves, as seen in the first picture, but we may have to recruit Aunt Misty or Auntie Allison for some tumbling tips!
