Gymnastics

Before summer began, my husband and I talked about wanting Lilly to involved with some physical activity once the school year began.  We looked into several programs and narrowed it down to soccer or gymnastics.  Both sports had equal number of pros and cons on our list, so I took the decision to my daughter.  She immediately decided on gymnastics. 

In the past month or so, I have signed her up for the class and even though she didn't have to have it to take the class, we bought her a gymnast leotard.  She loves the leotard and is super excited to start her class - we are counting down the days.

I am praying she will love the class.  I have one little concern though and it is that Lilly thinks she is already supposed to know all the moves before she gets to the class.  I am hoping that she doesn't get frustrated if she can't do a certain more, but we have talked about it often so prayerfully, that will not be the case.  Even if she does get frustrated, I know this class is going to be a lesson in perseverance - sticking with it. 

Here are a few pictures of my sweet girl showing off her leotard:

  1. Emma Grace starts gymnastics on Thursday too! Where did you find that cute leotard? We need to get one. The 6X is too small that I got her 2 years ago to play in and around the house.

    1. Karen, we got it from Academy, it is an extra small, the smallest they had. :) I like it much better than the ballet leotards.

  2. Tell Lilly she looks spectacular, and to do the best she can. Most importantly she should have fun.
