Gymnastics class



Lily took a 5 week gymnastics class during the month of August. It was Friday mornings but I'm lucky that my bosses like me and are flexible and don't mind me coming in a little late for 5 Fridays.

And so Lily started her Foxes & Pups class Josephson Academy of Gymnastics. It was supposed to be a group class but only one other kid showed up and to only one of the classes, so Lily got a private class. She was a little hesitant about her teacher, Lindsay, for about 5 minutes and then loved her.

She loved running so fast she'd fall down on the trampoline.

She loved stacking the foam blocks and then knocking them all over.


Throwing blocks into the foam pit.

Jumping, jumping, jumping.

Lily loved gymnastics. All of the floors had mats on them so she could run and do crazy things without getting hurt. She learned a lot in her class actually. She learned how to jump! By the end of the class she was getting air on the trampoline. She also got a lot better at safely climbing down off things and just a better awareness of being near the edge of things. And she just had so much fun. Plus the end of class meant she got a stamp on each hand and the top of each foot and she found that incredibly exciting.
