A gymnastics studio opened up right around the corner from our house, so we went to see if they had classes for 2 year olds. Lo and behold, they have a 2-year-old class on Saturdays at 9:30am! So we signed Brianne up for a trial class to see how she liked it before committing to buying a package. As soon as we walked in for the first class, Brianne wanted to run right onto the floor. She didn't even look back to see if I was still there. I can't say I blame her. The place is awesome, very colorful with all kinds of equipment and other kids of all ages doing gymnastics.

For the first class, Brianne had some trouble following directions and just wanted to check everything out. But she quickly fell in line and started participating in the activities. The classes are great as there are 2 teachers for 6 girls, so they get more personalized attention.

I also really like that this class is more structured, and has the girls doing real gymnastics exercises. I thought it would just be them dancing around, but they did stretching, floor exercise, balance beam, parallel bars and more! Brianne's favorite was jumping on the trampoline.

Getting limbered up.


Walking together to the next exercise.


Working on the parallel bars.

Brianne did an assisted front flip over this bar!

Brianne loves gymnastics (which she calls 'nastics!"). The biggest problem is trying to get her to leave :o) Looking forward to seeing all the amazing things Brianne will be able to do!
