Gymnastics

Lucy started her gymnastics class on Saturday.
She got a new outfit, that she picked out and kept begging to go to "class" all morning.
Lucy doing a hand stand, which she calls "feet on wall"
Lucy has a wonderful teacher named Miss Mackenzie, 
you can tell she really loves to help the kids learn something new.
Lucy learned how to do what she calls "hands and feet" all by herself!
By far Lucy's favorite thing to do is the bar.   She has so much upper body strength that Miss Mackenzie had her try a flip. Lucy would watch the Gymnastics video multiple times a day waiting to go to class. She would always talk about the bar, it did not disappoint!
One thing I was not prepared for was Lucy being scared of the balance beam, she had to be holding on to someone's hand the whole time. Our hope is just to let her run off energy, and learn how to listen, well a little better anyway.
