Kylah had her first gymnastics class at Alpine Gymnastics last week Monday, and she absolutely loved it! She was a little hesitant at first, as were the three other students (all her same age), but it didn't take long for them to warm up and have a great time. We started with stretching:
The first activity after stretching was to follow a little circuit learning things like walking across the beam, somersaults on an inclined mat, hanging from the bars, and backbends.
Kylah loves to hang from the bars - she swings back and forth, and can pull her knees up to her chest. Kylah's new friend Sonya caught on right away too!
Time for a backbend! This one was slightly more difficult...she kept wanting to put weight on her head, instead of her hands.
The second circuit included jumping on three different types of trampolines, jumping into the foam pit, and jumping through hoolahoops. Jumping on trampolines was by far her favorite thing to do, and I guess I'm not too surprised that she's really good at it! She jumps around the house all the time, but jumping on a tramp brought about a whole new level of excitement.
The goal was to jump on the smiley face. She fell a few times, but she'd pick herself right back up and keep jumping!
The trampoline below is the highest tramp they have. One jump on this sent me flying super high. Again, Kylah had no problem on it - higher just means more fun!
Her class is about an hour long every Monday for seven weeks. She's so excited for tomorrow's class - she keeps saying "I jump trampoline!" Too cute :)

Oh what fun!! I've been trying to find a place for Liv to go (but I also have some other expectations of the place too...). I really think she would love it the way Kylah does. I can't wait to hear more about it.
