Gymnastics

Claire has been doing gymnastics since the beginning of summer. She is a very cautious little girl so heights and taking any kind of physical risk make her very nervous. We thought gymnastics would be a perfect way to feel a little more confident when it comes to these things.


We did a trial class back in May, and Claire spent the whole 45 minutes glued to Denis' leg watching. This seems to be the way she learns. She observes until she feels confident and then joins in. When we went to the next class, she was already feeling more comfortable and happily participated in the class. Many classes later and she loves going! She has gotten really good on the equipment and after practising how to do a forward roll all summer, she has perfected it.


I love watching her go to class. She always has a huge grin on her face, and is so excited to try out all the equipment. It's pretty cool to see her conquer her fears too. Here are some pictures and a couple video clips of her doing her thing.
