gymnastics again

matt's been asking and asking when i was going to start the girls in gymnastics again, and after the kids went back to school i felt like i might finally be ready.
we're on week 3 now and they are loving it!
one of the skills last week was a bear crawl and frankie rocked it.
she bear crawled on the ladder a few times and then started being silly.
cheater cheater!
the slide is still fun but not a favorite anymore, thankfully.
i don't mind them playing, but i'd rather not pay $70 a session for them to slide when they can do it for free just up the street, ya know?
cheese face.
i'm happy to report that she's no longer afraid of the trapeze.
she's all over it now.
and then she drops right in the middle of the mat.
waiting her turn.
cutie nerd.
she is loving gymnastics now, which makes me happy because by the end of her last session i think she was kinda over it.
she still loves this fun little ladder contraption.
and she's a fearless pro.
 
dainty little steps.
all business.
such a big girl.
"ready, mom?"
she loves to swing but does not love to hang by her legs or with her feet.
where's frankie?
coach kim said "freeze!" and she actually froze!
coach called them to circle time, frankie thought about it for a minute and then actually followed directions! yay, frankie!
after all that work she was in need of some sustenance.
addie is in kindergym, so no parents inside the gym.
which means that this is the only picture i got.
that's her there in the long sleeved black "lee-ka-tark" with her back to the camera.
it's not the easiest thing to wrangle 3 girls to gymnastics every week but they have so much fun that it's pretty worth it.
