Ella and Emma wanted to continue taking gymnastics this semester. It took a few weeks for them to get used to their new teacher, Ms. Brandi, but I am constantly amazed at how much they are learning and how strong they are.
This class is in the afternoon and is the only class in the gym. (A huge improvement over being in there with the team and 2 other classes all at the same time.) Ms. Brandi has taught them on every apparatus and focuses on some of the technical stuff that is important in the gymnastics world, like always putting your hands up after completing a trick. I sit in the waiting area during class with some of the other moms and will occasionally peek in the windows to see what they are working on now. I was so excited to have a watch day and see what all they had learned. (FYI: Ella's in purple tie dye, and Emma's wearing the black with pink sleeves and heart.)

This video shows them learning a back-kick over and some bar work. The voice in the background while Emma is on the bar is another mom near me talking to her little Emma, not ours.
