gymnastics

The girls are enrolled in their first gymnastics classes.  I wish they could do the class together but because of their age groups they are in different levels.  Taylor was not excited about her teacher.
 He's kind of a weird looking guy with a bunch of tattoos.  He also has a lot of rules and is quick to call the kids out if they are not following the rules.
 Taylor really did not like this apparatus.  She can't quite figure out to put her feet under the bar and over her head.
 She was not a fan of this one either, you are suppose to keep yourself up and go across the whole bar using your upper body strength.
 Not her best showing :(
 She did like this tunnel, I mean who doesn't like going through tunnels?
 But ask her what the best part of her day was, it was this:
 Her teacher would tell the kids if they didn't hurry through the tunnel he would get them, and then he did!  He was over by the trampoline and then all of a sudden he was flying through the air and landed on the tunnel. (No kids were in the tunnel when he landed) The girl now LOVES her teacher and tells everyone how much fun gymnastics is.
 Such a crazy girl!! 
Hayden started gymnastics the day after Taylor and she was pumped up to finally get to be on all the fun things I didn't let her go on the day before.
 She loved the balance beams.
 She is a crazy monkey and loved hanging on the bars.
She couldn't quite figure out the rock wall and got stuck like this each time.
 About half way through the class everything started going downhill fast.  Hayden was done listening and would throw herself on the floor if asked to perform a task.  She didn't want to stand in line or listen to the teacher.  Another big problem was Ryan had a major poo blow out.  What is a mother to do?  The class is only 45 long, do you take both kids out to the car and then back in again and change the baby so you can enjoy 5 minutes?  Well that's not what I did, I held the stinky baby with poo up her back and dealt with the 2 year old tantrums.  In another attempt to get mother of the year, when the class was over and we finally got to the diaper bag in the car, it was EMPTY!  Good times, good times!  I am going right now and loading the car up with supplies :)

  1. Sadie had that same teacher, but he did not do the cool fly through the air thing!

    He was very rule oriented. We had one little girl in the class who WOULD NOT listen. It was frustrating but I think he spent half of the time trying to get her to pay attention.

    I would have held the stinky baby too. Motherhood can be longsuffering!
