Tumb-uhh-ween

Evelyn has jumped full swing into her Tumbling class. She loves the rush of the gym atmosphere, the other toddlers, all the free space and of course the awesome equipment they have. She is always asking to go, "Tumb-uhh-ween?" I'm positive we're going to keep up with this so we went ahead and bought some official tumbling gear...

This day, Evelyn was mistaken for royalty when another girl came in saying, "Look, mom! A princess!"

The class usually goes something like this-running back and forth on a white line, doing random walks/jumpes (ie frog hop, crab walk), then an obstacle course consisting of a somersault, jumping into or over something, crawling in or under something, the balance beam and doing a back bend on this sweet pillow thing they have. Then they do different jumps on the trampoline, sometimes jump off onto a target and then have 10 minutes of free time. It's awesome! Even the parents have a blast on the trampolines.

Last week, Evelyn successfully made it across the 12 foot balance beam on her own (only falling off 2 or 3 times). Her teachers were very impressed, claiming they rarely see a child her age make it so far. Overall, I think she has great form and I definitely think this may be her thing. Go, Evey Girl!! Mommy's proud :)
