Ella the Gymnast

Owen has been doing gymnastics at KIPS gym in Corona for 14 months now.  When he started Ella was only little and didn’t understand what was going on when she was made go with me and watch his class.  But recently she KNOWS what he’s doing and wants in that gate…BAD!  So we signed Ella up for the month of July for the Parent/Tot class.  She was awesome and actually got better throughout her 4 classes.

Her first class 7-9-15

 
She was very comfortable with Coach Danielle…it was funny. 
 
And we got to spend time with some of our buddies too…score for mommy! 
 
Andrew, Ella and Kellan.

They were suppose to be covering their eyes so the teacher could hide some toys for them to run and find.  Ella was a little cheater! haha She must get that from her daddy! haha
 

And at the end the kiddos line up for their stamps and stickers.

7-17-15 
Next class we missed because of camping and did a make-up session…still had fun regardless of who was in class with her. The girl walks into the place like she owns it…shes not a bit timid!

Rings and bars.  She liked swinging but landing on her feet didn’t always happen.

The pit and floor stretches (this time she sat with her mama and not coach!) 

Challenging Coach to some wall hand-stands and practicing on the low beam all by herself. 

3rd class 7-23-15.
We inherited some hand-me-down leotards last year and I remembered we had the by the 3rd class. It REALLY makes watching her THAT much more enjoyable.
My goodness the outfit can really complete the whole experience huh?!? heehee.

My crazy Mom picture taking really calmed down as well by the 3rd class.  I didn’t snap pictures the full 50 minutes! haha

And our last class…7-30-15.
Her little booty in that leotard…my goodness I die!

And she landed on her feet!!! Major progress over the 4 classes!

Loved watching this little lady enjoy herself AND learn! I think she might be the athlete of the family…and when we can, we’ll be re-enrolling this girl into gymnastics again (aka when she’s old enough for the little kippers class and doesn’t need mommy there with her!)!
