Madelynn started gymnastics this past month and LOVES it! Her and I go every Monday night for 45 minutes and have that time together, which is very special for the two of us. We go to Bounce in Hartland, MI which is a very big gym with a ton of kids running around in cute leotards. It is so adorable! We've had 3 classes now and I've brought her to an open gym once extra and its amazing how much she is learning and improving already. She has really strong core muscles for her age so she does really well and the teacher really challenges her to do a little extra so I think she is going to get a lot out of it. She wishes she could just run and play on the trampoline the whole time and so she gets a bit frustrated with Coach Anne and I sometimes, but she listens most of the time and at least tries everything once. She unfortunately isn't very flexible and is so tall that I don't think gymnastics will be in her future for very long. It's a fun physical activity for her for the time being and she loves 'nastics!
