Tumbling!

We enrolled Addie in a tumbling class at the local rec center. We thought it would be a good way to get some energy out and maybe she'd learn something.

Last week was her first week and she did really well- it's a little chaotic with one teacher and seven 3-5 year olds. She learned how to do a sit up and started learning how to do arches, back bends and head stands. They also practiced somersaults (or forward rolls).

Here is a video we put together from her class.

This week did not go as well- I think she's a little afraid of the teacher. It took a lot of coaxing from both Clay and I and help from me before she finally started participating on her own. Hopefully next week will be better!

Addie did really good at the somersaults and I loved watching her try and do a headstand! that was when I wasn't laughing at the little chubby girl rolling all over the place. BTW I loved the music, a perfect pick;)

Court she is so cute. And I can't believe how big will is getting. He is so precious, glad to hear he is letting you sleep a little.
