Gymnastics

So we signed Lilly up for gymnastics

this semester

She is learning how to do somersaults

jump on the trampoline

and walk on the balance beam

The balance beam has been a love/hate relationship so far

some days she loves it

and some days she hates it so much she cries if she has to do it

So being the loving father he is

Scott took her and practiced the "beam" after school

he put the weight bench up on two large boxes

and had her practice walking across

& jumping down

I got to see the proof on his phone camera

The next time at gymnastics she rocked that beam

she may still have needed to hold her coaches hand

but there were no tears, only smiles

and she was so proud of herself

If she gets nothing else out of this experience

I hope she realizes what a great father she has

who will always be there for her

to help her conquer her fears

Here's some pics from parent night

This one so wanted to join in on the fun

and had a great time playing & jumping

on the mats
