The girls' gymnastic teacher invited parents to class last night to see what the girls have been working on this year. The classes are offered at our local seminary and give the girls a chance to learn new skills but without the pressure to compete. Its been a great experience for our girls, though I'm afraid they want to play soccer come fall and not continue with gymnastics. I (Amy) always wanted to do gymnastics as a child so of course I hate to see them give up the chance to continue but this year has helped tremendously with their core strength and balance (both of which were severely lacking due to early deprivation).
The girls begin each class with stretching.
