Tumbling

Life this fall has been busy, busy, busy. It seems like there is always something fun going on and while it may wear me out, the kids are loving it! We really try to limit how much they are involved in (usually just one thing at a time) but with 3 kids that still makes for a busy life. Harrison has started LEGO club at school which is awesome! Madeleine just wrapped up her fall softball season and is still doing tumbling once a week. We are also giving Lads to Leaders a try at our new church which is such a great program! And, Charlotte is doing 2/days a week of preschool and starting to do some tumbling of her own.

 

Madeleine has wanted to do gymnastics for awhile now and we finally started back in August. She's done so well at it, that as of this week, she's moving up to a more advanced class. She has really worked hard and it shows --- she has come a long way in just a couple of months! I'm so so proud of her.

 

And, when Madeleine started tumbling, Charlotte started trying to do it too. She wants to do everything like Madeleine and, crazy enough, she's getting there. We've done a couple of private lessons with Madeleine's teacher and Charlotte just loves Mr. Joe. He is awesome with her! She can do a backbend (fall backwards and land on her hands, not her head) and a roundoff/running roundoff. It's kinda crazy to see her flying through the air, but she's so good at it. 

 

Our last class, Mr. Joe invited Charlotte out to join them and she kept up with those big girls just fine. She can't do what Madeleine is doing in new class, but she is really wanting to try! My girls are so talented and make me so proud of their hard work!
