Gymnastics

Emery has been taking a gymanstics class for babies at The Little Gym of Greenville for the past six weeks. Although things started off a little rocky (Emery HATED any sort of movement that involved going upside down), the weekly class has become the highlight of our week. Emery befriended a cute little friend named Harper and got over her fear of flipping. Now she runs wild all over the gym. We've even gone to a few "open gym" play sessions so that Emery can become even more familiar with the equipment. I have enrolled her (and Harper) in the same class again for the fall/winter semester. Looks like we'll be spending every Wednesday morning from August through January at The Little Gym!

Dangling from the lower of the uneven bars. The picture was taken about two seconds too late.

Emery will eventually swing through these bars, but for now she enjoys just walking between them.

The start of a backwards roll (teacher Miss Shea is assisting). Both of the teachers for The Birds (Emery's age group) are wonderful. I was thrilled to learn that Miss Shea and Miss Brittany will both be returning next semester. They are wonderful with the kids.

On a side note....50 days to Notre Dame football!!!
