Izzy's Gymnastics

This session, Izzy is taking gymnastics at the YMCA. So far, she LOVES it. I think it's much better then the sports class. It's longer (45 minutes) and the kids are in the gym by themselves - parents have to sit outside, but can watch through large windows. This way, she can see me, but doesn't have the option to run over and say she doesn't want to participate anymore. They have them doing all sorts of things - walking on balance beams, jumping on trampolines, swinging from bars, hanging from rings and ropes, somersaulting, hand-stands, jumping on vaults. She adores her instructors. She told me after class today - 'my teachers are AMAZING!' There's about 20 kids in the class, then after stretching and warm-ups, they split them into groups of 4-5 with their own instructor and rotate through the different stations. Here's a few pictures from today. Forgive the bad quality - it was with no flash through a window...
