Gymnastics

Today Daddy was able to go to Sienna's gymnastics class with us so we were able to take some, ok lots of pictures of her in class. The area for the smaller toddlers also has lots of play things and things for climbing because half of the class time is free play. The other half is very basic skills at this age. Just some good stuff for balance and coordination. First are some pictures of Sienna during free play.




































Here is Sienna on the small tramp trying to learn to jump. She doesn't jump yet, just usually bends her knees and then straightens them, or just marches.

Now she is trying to learn how to jump off the vault board. And learning to do a forward roll.

Her favorite thing is the tumbl track. She's suppose to jump down it to the end, however she just runs down it and giggles the whole time. As soon as she gets to the end, she just turns around and runs back the other way. Maybe she'll be into track, she would just do this all day if we let her.

Paul is explaining to Sienna that she's suppose to walk down the beam and then when she gets to a bean bag, bend down to pick it up. She did well, except she would bend down and whip the bean bag off the beam as hard as she could.

Finally the bar. She's suppose to grab the bar, jump off the mat and swing on the bar to kick the elephant mat over. She needed some help swinging, but really did pretty well at this and even lets go of the bar and jumps down on her own when finished.
