It was our thinking that Grace might enjoy an activity which channeled all that energy that keeps her hopping, skipping, singing and jumping all day long. We tried ballet, which was fun, but not busy enough. We tried skating, which was ok as long as a parent was there...swimming has been a success so far, but she needs more....
So, we started gymnastics this week. From first glance, it would appear we have found a new home for Grace.
2 minutes in and she was in the lead for every new activity. I think I may have gotten one quick wave as they ran by, otherwise, she was in her element! Sommersaults and back bridges, jumping in the foam pit and balancing on the beam, my fearless Grace was all over it. Watching the competitive boys, aged about 15, she decided she too would swing from the parallel bars one day soon.
What a great experience for her! Can't wait for next week to see if it keeps her interest, we've already signed up for the next session!
Go, Gracie Go!
