the next big thing

Tonight was Lily's first gymnastic class. She more than loved it, in fact she kinda of cried when we left.
.
We played on the beams, the bars, trampoline, foam pit (only kid to willingly jump in...everyone else was twice her age too!) just ran up and down the strip, vault, spring board...she did it all. There was lots of yelling and laughing on her part as well.
.
Tonight was her first class so it was free, to see if its something we want to do. It is, I think gymnastics is a great sport and getting her used to all the equipment now is a great idea. Let a lone it wears her out before bed time. The class is 30 minutes, once a week and its a parent-child class.
.
I was picking her up to help her climb a ladder and her little heart was beating so fast! And when we got in the car to go home I handed her the sippy cup and she downed the whole thing, so it must be a great work out for her.
.
Watching Lily, I couldn't help but remember all the hours I have spent in a gym similar watching my sister or my cousins do gymnastics and be so jealous of them and their awesome skills! I am not going to be a crazy sport parent, but I would love if Lily wanted to stick with gymnastics, at least for a few more years.

How fun! It looks like Lily had a blast!! Where do you take her? And how much is it? I have thought about putting Sam in gymnastics...but then I feel like I have to do something for Ashley, and it all adds up so fast! But then Ashley doesn't like to be invloved in group things yet, so maybe we should look into it...
