For quite some time I've been meaning to sign Abby up for a gymnastics class. I thought she would enjoy it and thought it would be a good way to use her overflow of energy! Today was our first class. We decided on a "Just U and Me" class where the parents are required to be present. Plus the next class is for 3-5 year old kids that are completely potty trained. Ever since our Christmas travels she has been less consistent with that, so this class seemed the way to go. Fortunately, she LOVED it! She was independent, coordinated, confident, and awesome! Okay, maybe I'm her Mom and a bit biased, but afterward the teacher (Miss Sarah) talked to me about having her do this a few weeks and then do a 2 1/2 year old class that learns more skills. When the teacher first came up to me while Abby was on the trampoline she said, "Okay, she jumps like she's 4, but how old is she?" Abby did well at all of the things she was supposed to do and enjoyed racing like a speed demon down the tumbling track and jumping in the pit of "blocks" as she called them. Many parents commented on her speed and asked if she is difficult to keep track of! I had to say yes!

Here is one extra picture from New Year's of Brandon, Dex and Abby. I just had to throw it in!
Here are a few pictures and a short video. I didn't take video of them doing things in the class, but more during free time. She looked even better during the class!
