Gymnastics Fun

Lily loves going to gymnastics once a week and this was something I couldn't wait for her to do.  I was hoping she would enjoy it and guess what?  She does!  At least she loves the running and jumping around for 45 minutes.

A little "photo" shoot before class.  A little sucker for a snack before we left never hurt anybody.

Her hair is growing!

Love the back of this leotard


 We've been going to a "Mommy and Me" class which is fun but entails me chasing after her a lot of the time!  Well, now she's in a "real" class!  This means I'm not in there chasing her around anymore.  I now get 45 minutes to sit on the bench and watch her through the windows with the other Moms.  I love it because I get to see Lily from a different perspective.

Sitting and listening (for a moment)

Warming up

A little meeting with the teacher after warm up

There's been so much progress in Lily's strength and physical abilities since our Gotcha Day in January.  While we were in China, she did such little walking.  In fact at one point, we wondered if she really could walk but then remembered that she did walk in to meet us while holding her nanny's hand.  When she did walk with us though, she definitely wasn't very steady or sure of herself.  The park visits and gymnastics have really helped her in this area.  She's getting much stronger and confident in herself with things likes sliding, jumping, swinging and running.

How cute is she standing on her star during a warm up?!?

Just makes me smile to watch her during class!
