Gymini

Emma has been taking Gymnastics classes since September, and she still looks forward to it every Monday. It's a real gym where they train older kids for competitions. Emma is just at the "preschool" level, but you can see them teaching the kids the foundations of what will later be full-blown tricks.

Emma is in the back of this picture, working on the fundamentals of the back flip on the bars -- they tell the kids to try and touch the snowman's face with their feet.


Here is Emma working on the beginning of a handstand -- she "walks" up this mat and holds herself there. It's hard for them because they are working on their arm strength to hold up all their weight.
