Last night concluded our 10 week session at The Little Gym. Each child had 3 routines to perform for the parents. Dawson did the bars, beam and the floor. Here's a little background on how we got started .......The very first week Dawson came home from Guatemala, we were at The Little Gym. My friend Gretchen owned two at the time and of course, we had to join! Our classes started out as mom and me and then moved to just Dawson. Often times, Gretchen would watch Dawson while I ran an errand or two and they would just hang out at the gym and explore. We even invited our friend Grace and her mom to join us for a class one day. They fell in the love with the gym too! I really love the concept of their program because it provides an environment for kids to succeed at whatever level they are comfortable with. The program also bases it's teaching and skills on the United States Gymnastics Federation.
Look at Dawson on a regular high beam...on her toes. She does not really need anyone to hold her hand. She has no fear of this at all! She's just like her Aunt Kim!!!
Nice balance!
And the dismount!
Good friends chatting!
On her bar routine, she pulled herself up and was able to hold herself still. Not bad!
Following the routines, everyone gets a gold medal and the chance to wave to the fans! I never thought she would do it but, she surprised me and did!!!

And two Funny Bugs trying to strike a pose with attitude....I think Grace has this down!!!

The girls are getting so big way too fast. That "attitude" thing takes years of coaching! Grace has a little edge with her NYC Nana.
The beam is definitely Dawson's strength. She really shows confidence and poise!
