For the past 8 weeks the girls have both been taking gymnastics classes and Meghan's class is a mommy and me class with Samara has her helper and Samara is in a class all by herself learning the intros to gymnastics. She can hang on the bars, walk the beam and do forward/backward rolls and straddle rolls. She also loves to jump from the trampoline into the foam pit!
During each gym class there is an obstacle course the kids are required to do two times and then they can have free play and go into the ball pit or the foam pit and they also can play on the slides and pretty much practice whatever they want. This is only allowed in Megs class, Mara's class is more structured and they aren't even allowed to go to the bathroom and after every event they do they have to show the right form by putting their feet together and raising their arms up high.
Meghan is performing her forward roll down the ramp which always turns into a sideways roll but she is one of the only ones in the class that can do a full straddle/split and a perfect forward roll on the floor. She is definitely very flexible and we are going to keep working on her straddles and rolls until she is big enough to go in to a developmental class and rock the gym!
Whee....look at me! I love to go down the slides!
...and jump on the trampoline with Ms. Tracy!
The ball pit is also a lot of fun for Meggie. She has mastered getting through the lower obstacle all by herself and through the tunnels!
She is even learning the bars and building up her upper body strength!
Mara jumping from the trampoline into the foam pit. She loves to try to jump really far out and most times takes a running start. Next week she will move up to the next level class and hopefully start learning more skills. Last week she practiced the beam and was walking forward and backward and jumping off the end.
