Little Gym!!

Since Gabbi was 10 months old she has been in Little Gym classes.  She has gone from the "birds" class to the "super beasts" class.  Each week she gets to run around, practice gymnastics, play with friends, and just be cute.
She has had some great teachers and loves the one she has now, Mr. Diego!  He has been her teacher from the beginning and she loves him.  She is starting to learn how to listen to teacher when he is teaching the skill of the week and love to try the skill with his help.

Gabbi loves to spin in circles, walk on the balance beam, do rolls, and everything else that she can do.  Often Mr. Diego inflates the air track and she just jumps her way to the end.  Here she is perfecting jumping with her feet together and her hands up.  It's a lot harder on the air track then you may think.  She is doing great!

The bar is her least favorite activity but she tries.  It seems that she just doesn't like to go upside down.  She is getting better and does just fine when Mr. Diego helps.  In this shot Mr. Diego is showing her how to touch her nose to the bar and he is going to flip her feet over the bar.  She let me help do this too, as in the photo at the top.

The whole family loves little gym.  It has really been great to see her skills grow and expand over the last year plus.  She has been very lucky to have some great teachers and even share classes with the same kiddos.  We all look forward to our 45 minutes a week on the big red mat.  This summer Gabbi will begin new classes where parents don't get to play along, and I don't know if we are excited or sad.  Maybe both.

I love Little Gym!!!
