In the fall I was looking for an activity for Maya and decided on a gymnastics class at The Little Gym.  For the past several months we’ve been heading out every Monday morning for her gym class. She loves it, well most of it. She still won’t go into the class on her own so I have to sit with her for the first 10-15 minutes.  But, she is making progress and since she loves the class I’m okay with having to take my shoes off and sit on the floor until she’s comfortable.

Yesterday was the big grand finale class of this semester.  Her little class put on a “show”.  Basically, a demonstration of all the skills they’ve learned since the class started.  They showed off the different jumps they’ve learned, their balance beam skills, high bar skills and tumbling skills.  Watching these tiny little people, especially my little person, the tiniest one in the class, was so fun (and funny).  The whole show ended with each child being called up to receive their achievement medal.  Too cute.

Although the show started off on a rough note for Maya, she refused to participate until about half way through, she ended up having a great time and we got some great pictures of her performing her mad gymnastics skills.

The next semester starts next week. I can’t wait to see what she learns this time.  I’m hoping that she’ll be willing to go into the class all by herself (fingers crossed).
