Isabella, the gymnast

Bella started gymnastics this week and she absolutely loved it. For the last couple months, she's been doing some crazy moves or jumping up and down and saying "Is this gymnastics?" We thought after the new year it would be a good idea to get her enrolled in something.

Her first night there were only two other kids in her class. She was shy at first, but with some coaxing off she went and she never looked back. We could only view her through windows, but we saw her following directions very well, like running through a routine while the teacher individually helped other students. We saw her (attempt) swinging around a bar, doing handstands, doing backbends over a barrel, jumping on a trampoline and I even saw her trying to do somersaults on a balance beam.

Evie was even a champ hanging out in the waiting room. We all went to the first night because we didn't know what to expect. Every once in a while she would just say Bella? Bella? and if she actually saw her through the window she would scream Bella! Bella! and jump up and down and point at her. It was quite a bit more energy that anyone else in the waiting room had(everyone was just reading or playing on their phones).

Bella will go once a week on Mondays until we decide to take a break. She's already very excited about next week.
