Floor excercise


Brooke's first day of gymnastics was today. It was an hour long session at the gym. There were 5 kids total, all of them 3 years old. Brooke was pretty timid about it but some of the things they did she seemed to really enjoy. They started with stretching and singing the "Happy and you know it" song. Then they practiced doing some somersaults and walking on their hands and feet. Then they went to the balance beam and followed that up with jumping on the trampoline runway thing. The last part of the session was swinging on a rope and dropping into a pit of foam blocks. Brooke wasn't interested in that part. Afterwards each kid got a dum-dum lollipop thing. She said she really had fun. The instructor is really nice and patient with the little kids.

It's hard for parents to get pictures so the only one worth looking at is her trying to walk on the balance beam. I took a couple out front of the house before we went.
