gymnastics, again again

frankie-franks started gymnastics!
(3 weeks ago, but whatever)
she loooooooooooooves it!
she's been going with big sister since she was first born, and most of the coaches have let her play on the equipment, but now she actually gets to be in the class and it is so cute!
warming up.
and she actually participates, unlike addie. frankie stretches and straddles and tickles her toes.
so, so fun!
just look at that concentration.
hanging out on the trampoline. she loves it.
she never stops running!
playing on the floor beam. or i guess, with the floor beam.
she loves the bars!!!
monkey girl.


whoa!
(she caught herself)
here's how addie rolls while we are in frankie's class. i caught her across the room dancing all sassy-like in her new leotard. whenever she sees me looking, she shouts "it's my turn?" and i tell her "not yet!" and then after about 5 minutes we repeat that convo.
one of the moms saw me trying to balance frankie and take pictures, so she offered to take one for me. 
that was nice. :)
and during her 3rd class, she finally swung!
big girl!
she loves to spin in this saucer thingy.
frankie's class ends at 11:15 and addie's starts at 11:30 so it works perfectly.
and addie's in class all.by.herself! for the first time! she's doing sooo good!
it's hard to take pictures because we have to stay outside the gym and behind the glass.
very careful lady.
yes, they were supposed to crawl here.
just look at her following directions!
couldn't quite do this skill.... she was supposed to be moving across the bar, hand over hand, but instead she just kind of hung there till she fell off. and then did that again. maybe next week. :)
aaaand the stamps at the end.
hands, thighs, knees, feet, and if your gymnastics ensemble allows for it, tummy.
we love gymnastics. even for me, it's 2 hours of non-stop smiling.
but addie's pushing for a dance class next time.
someone (whose name starts with 'm' and ends with 't') might be influencing that decision.
we shall see for next session, but for now i love little girls in leotards!
(and, free with my pampers points, i ordered legwarmers! can't wait to see chubby franks in legwarmers and a leotard. cuuuute!)
