Gymnastics!

I think I mentioned in a previous post that Rebekah is taking gymnastics. She goes every Friday for 45 mintues. She seems to really love it and I love it for her. Her "coach" is really good with the kids and she is actually LEARNING things and not just playing around. So here are a few pictures of last week's class. Sorry that they are a little far away and are mostly of her rear-end but I had to go with what I could do from the observation area!

They put their hands on the mat and have to keep them there while they jump up onto the mat.

The little trampoline is the favorite activity in the circut and usually causes a major "traffic jam"!

The beginnings of a cartwheel.

"Coach Lauren" helps Rebekah flip her legs over the bar.

A good landing!

This is a video of Rebekah on the balance beam. I tried to cut it down to the minumum, but I want to share it because I am so proud! She made it about 2/3 of the way across and fell off, she got back on, but kept falling off (I cut some of that out) but she continued getting back on and was determined to get all the way to the other side.
