We love Gymnastics!!!



We spend a lot of time at the gym.  Both kids LOVE gymnastics.  We just recently signed Turner up and he goes one day a week for an hour while Maddie is in class.  At home we have a tumbling mat and trampoline that the kids got for Christmas.  I feel like that is all they do.  Maddie has started doing back handsprings on our bed, back flips on the trampoline, and if she is in the den......more than likely she is watching tv while in a hand stand:)  It is great exercise and I love they have something they both enjoy so much!
  Turner is doing it just for fun, but Maddie has been on a developmental team this past year with the plan to begin competing one day.  We should find out in 2 months if they think she is ready to start competing in January or needs another year on a developmental team.  Gymnastics is a very expensive and time consuming sport, so we are just praying for discernment as we decide what comes next.  Maddie definitely enjoys it enough and wants to be at the gym all the time.  Turner didn't have school yesterday so I took he and Aubry to playtime there and Maddie was livid when she found out. 
  I took this video today.  She decided yesterday to try out a back handspring on our bed and since that went well, she started doing them on the trampoline today.  She also got her back tuck down as well.  She makes me nervous as she is fearless!  Thankfully Turner isn't quite as fearless and didn't just try to imitate his sister today.  He is still pretty proud of himself for doing a front roll:)
