Tumbling

The tumblers

Olivia's last tumbling class of the spring session was a recital for all the girls to show their new found tumbling skills to their parents. The girls made a line at the end of a long line of mats and their instructor would say a skill and then each girl would do that skill to the other end of the mat where they were greeted with applause. I really appreciated the chance to have undivided time to watch what Olivia has been doing. I am normally either so busy chasing Soren around trying to keep him off the tumbling floor, or since the weather has been nice, I have just taken him on walks around town. It was fun to see Olivia's progress since the beginning of class, her coordination has really improved. Way to go Olivia!

The instructor gave each girl a flower and cookie, Soren was glad she had an extra cookie for him. He loved clapping for her the entire time, and the cookie was definitely a great bonus!
