Gymnastics Class!

Chloe started up gymnastics class again.  She is having such a blast!  It's amazing what one year can make.  I remember last year at this time it was a parent-tot class.  I would try to keep her focused and engaged.  She would have so much energy but not that much focus.  She would take off from the obstacle course and go jump on the trampolines or jump in the foam pit.  She struggled with waiting her turn and we can't forget when she was learning to use the water fountain!!!  And getting and staying in line was a learning experience as well.  This year is totally different!  I have to sit upstairs to observe while she has class on her own.  I watch her with a huge smile of pride on my face.  She waits patiently for her turn, stays on task, lines up and stays in line and listens to her teacher with all her attention.  It's amazing what a year can bring!  Chloe is taking a late afternoon class so there are tons of older kids doing gymnastics as well.  It's a very busy gym.  Makes me wonder if this is something she will continue doing and some day be one of those big kids in the gym or if it will just be an activity during her preschool years.
