The Little Gym

Isabella and I have been going to the Little Gym every week this Summer. Today was the last day of Summer classes. We've really enjoyed the classes, and she's learned lots of new things. It was also Isabella's last day as a "Bug". She's graduated to the "Birdie" class next semester. Isabella was so excited that Daddy got to join us today for her last class.

Taking a ride on the parachute.

This was supposed to be leg exercises. Isabella was playing her own game.

Hanging from the bar. She actually hung by herself with Jeff's hands on top of hers.

The biggest event of the day, which of course we did not have the camera ready for, was her beam routine. The instructor helped Isabella step side to side down the beam and when they hit the middle she did a somersault on the beam! Miss Jackie started to flip Isabella upside down, and Isabella put her hands down and tucked her head all by herself. We've done somersaults, but never on the beam. We were so proud! Isabella was also proud of herself. When I took her from the beam Jeff and I both heard her say "I did it". Really, that's what it sounded like. :o)

Isabella crawling away from us without even a little look back to see if we were coming too. She was on a mission to get to her friends (well, them and and the bells Miss Jackie had).
