Gymnastics

For the last 4 months, Mikayla has been taking gymnastics and has loved it!

 



She is getting lots better and it has been fun to see her improvement in certain skills. She is constantly doing cartwheels...around the house, outside in the grass, even in public places where it is not really appropriate and I have to remind her that this is not a place to practice her gymnastics. She has also turned her bunk bed into a gymnastics bar and will use the bars above her head to hold on to while she does flips and other crazy gymnastics moves.

During parent's night the girls get to choose something they have been working on to perform for all the parents. At this one, Kayla choose to do a flip around the bar. 

Then they do their salute and get a medal.

With a lot of sports, teams are formed according to age but not so in gymnastics which means Mikayla and Kambria get to be in the same class together. And Mikayla LOVES having Kambria in her class! 

 The next parent night Mikayla chose to do another skill on the high bar. I heard her say after the fact that she was nervous about messing up and falling in the pit in front of all the parents.

And her salute!

Santa Clause was even there this time to hand out the trophies!



I heard Mikayla telling Austin that it wasn't the real Santa. She said that they must have asked someone to be Santa to make the little girls at gymnastics happy.

Still trying to feel around for what sport Mikayla really enjoys and is skilled at. She really does like gymnastics so we have to see what she chooses to do this upcoming year.
