More Gymnastics


I really can't say enough good things about the gym Kailey is going to or the guy who has been working with her. (Yes, Bill is is the pictures here and he is very good with Kailey too, but I'm actually refering to the guy who is in charge of the class!). These are pictures from ... I guess two Saturdays ago now. I seem to be running out of time recently to keep this updated, thus all the posts here at once.
Kailey is in a class with just one other student. This little girl's family gave Kailey the gymnastics outfit that she is wearing in these pictures; they picked it out for their grand daughter, but it didn't fit her, so they were happy to find that Kailey would make good use of it.
Every week, the girls do some stretches, they move their way through an obstacale course, move to upper arm stuff and sometimes add the real balance beam into the mix. Here is Kailey walking on the little balance beam during the obstacle course.
And, both girls love running down the Tumble Track. They are supposed to be jumping with both feet together, but neither of them seem to like doing that as much as they do running down to the other end.
I don't have any pictures yet, but Kailey's favorite part of the class is the upper arm stuff towards the end. She loves to hang on the rings and kick the mat over that sits in front of the rings (yes, that's what they are supposed to do; she is following directions). She also sits on a rope and swings back and forth - or rather she hangs on while the rope is pulled and pushed. I'll have to try and get a picture this week!
