The First of Many

We decided 8wks ago to start Alexa in Gymnastics. She really has started to love going. After 8wks they do a lil' ceremony thing where all the kids from certain ages and classes go on different days and show their families what they have learned. There were a lot of lil' kids running around and parents jamming together to take pictures but it was cute. W/ Alexa's group there were 2 teachers helping all the kids do their routines. I was really afraid she might get distracted or overwhelmed w/ all the people there, but she didn't. She did so good. there were times when she got confused where she was suppose to be or just wanted to be doing what another group was doing, but still performed like a natural.

All the kids waiting patiently for things to get started



Warm up/ Stretches

Hanging like a monkey

Spider hang

High beam

W/ a straddle jump ( she can jump so high and far. Even the teacher during class would set her higher limits)

Low beam......



To a front roll

This how they practice hand stands

This thing is so cool. To help w/ back bends and kick overs

Ms. Shannon, her actual teacher.

She was the only kid that could hold herself up long enough to swing out and come back to the teacher. She's a machine.....j/k.

At the end of all the performances they handed out these lil' trophies. It was really cute but a lil' sad because when they were handing out the trophies they were going in alphabet order, so Alexa having the last name Wirth was the 2ND to last kid to get an award. Every time someone from her class went up and then sat back down w/ one she would look so confused. But she was super excited when she got hers, that she didn't want to get down.

Congrat my big girl.
