See What I Can Do Day

Ava has been taking Gymnastics on and off since she was 2. Recently, she joined the 5 year old class with her "dear friend", Katie. This class is a bit more intense compared to the 3/4 class. Her teacher gets down to business and they are actually working on skills.
Ava was in tears last month saying that her teacher was mean and "made" her try things "over and over". Eric and I realized that, until now, an adult has never alluded to the fact that Ava is not perfectly perfect in every way. It was quite the learning and growing experience for Ava...realizing that, in life, she may actually have to practice at something or work at a skill to get it right.
Using the block to get those long legs up for a Pull Over.
Look at those strong, straight arms and pointed toes.
Excellent form for the Backwards Roll.
