Tumbling show days

Sheldon and Allie both take tumbling classes at the little gym that is just up the street from us. They both love it and ask every day if it is a tumbling day. At the end of each session they have a show day so that the parents can see everything that have learned over the 20 weeks.


Allie hated the parachute for the first two sessions, but now she loves it. She loves to walk around and sing songs with it, and also sit in the middle for a ride, or slide down it as I lift it up underneath her.

She can't get enough of hanging upside down on the bar either. She spent almost 15 minutes doing this trick.

She will do flips on the bar as long as her cute teacher Mrs. Kim is right there to help.

Sheldon love the balance beam. He walks across it without any help. He reaches up high and goes on his tippy toes, then bends down low and touches the beam. He stands on one foot and even turns all the way around.

Sheldon also love to do flips on the bar. Or hang upside down. As long as people are watching he is happy doing anything.

Here he is starting to do cart-wheels. He isn't quite there yet, but he is getting really close to getting them down.

Here is his finish after he got his award for doing so well.

The really nice part is that Monday they start the next session, so their are no breaks. YAY!

What a fun thing for your kids! Especially in the winter when they are limited on where they can get out and play!

I love having the kids in these classes. It gives them time to run and play and get out some energy, but they are also learning about rules and listening. It is really great.
