Last Day of Gymnastics

Last Thursday was Lily's last day of gymnastics at The Little Gym. She has improved so much over this past semester. It has really been fun to watch her confidence and skills take off! Here are a few pictures from her recital.

Mia was fascinated watching all the kids. She wants to partake so badly!
They always have fun with noddles.
We noticed they intentionally called Lily last to do each of her routines. During her routines, she did moves that none of the other kids had attempted. On the bars, they helped her do a handstand (see picture below), and she also did a flip on the high bar. She told me later this was her favorite part.
On the balance beam, she did a somersault; again, no one else attempted it. I am so proud of her new found courageousness!
Mia couldn't hold out any longer, so she joined Lily on the floor.
Here's Mia giving it a go on the beam.
Talk about fearless! Look at the face of pure joy as she jumps!
Each child was given a medal. Lily was very proud of her medal. When we got home afterwards, Lily voluntarily said "Since I have a new medal, I am going to give Mia my old medal so she will have one too." Love it when she is so sweet!
Lily's class after they all received medals.
What a fun Spring it has been at The Little Gym!
