I am trying to get caught up all that happened this summer one post at a time. For some reason the summer and working less days caused me to be LESS organized. Go figure...
Anyway, next week Ellie will start in a new gymnastics class called "Tot Shots". It is an invitation class that meets twice a week and it is supposed to prepare the little ones for pre-team classes which are the next step. Ellie amazes us with the things she is able to do on the bars. However, the floor exercises are not really her strength at this point. It is so hard for me to watch her pull herself right up on the bar and have so much strength in her moves and yet I CAN NOT get the child to do a cartwheel. So, we will see how it goes. The coach assurred me it was the class she needed to be in. I would just feel so much better if we could go into it doing a cartwheel! :)

There isn't much I've seen her do that she wasn't very good at...so, I feel sure the cartwheel will come. I'm sure they know all the tricks...I remember for Becky they stacked up mats and she placed her hands on the end of the mat as she "came around" for the cartwheel. Again, I feel sure they know far more "tips" now than 25 yrs. ago!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie!!! I need to quit being such a crazy mother and just let her enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the cartwheel. She will get it - even though she is doing it on the wrong side! Ha Ha! Gymnastics is in her blood - I passed it on to you and you have passed it on to her!
