Haley started gymnastics this past week. She is taking 4 , one hour classes through the parks and rec. The entire family went to watch! She was so excited.. we had been counting down the days for about half of the month! She was one of 7 kids in class. They were taught the pike, tuck, lunge and straddle positions as well as how to forward roll, backward roll, walk on the ballance beam frontwards, backwards, like a bear, sideways and by stepping then kicking! Haley has also mastered the arch which starts with the proper "pizza hand" position.... ( hands up like holding a pizza...she practices this all the time). By the end of class they were starting handstands so we are excited to see what this Wednesday will hold. Haley's coach coaches a competitive team in the area so he really knows his stuff. She really wanted a girl teacher but likes her "boy teacher" now that they have met. She doesn't want to call him coach because he's "really just teaching me stuff mom so he's a teacher".... so, needless to say she is the only kid in class that called him teacher. haha.
Here are some pictures! Hope you enjoy them!
