Maddie's our girl that cart-wheels and stands on her hands everywhere she goes. Whenever we're in a building with a long hallway or open space, she has been known to ask me if she can do a cart-wheel really quickly.
With the new year came the writing of goals for the year. One of Maddie's goals was to learn to do a front hand spring. She has been pretty serious about teaching herself, which made us a little nervous, so I went in a couple of weeks ago to sign her up for a tumbling class.
Maddie is beside herself with her good fortune, and Shawn and I are so excited for her. It is so fun to put your child in something that you know they will truly enjoy. I went to pick her up at the conclusion of her first class and was surprised to see one of the instructors already spotting her through a back handspring. They don't seem to waste any time, so I think she just might make her goal this year!
How fun! I bet she'll be one of the best in the class before long because she has the desire, ability, and determination to excel!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that they were already teaching her how to back handspring! Sounds like she's going to have fun!
