Tumbling

Sadie has been asking to take gymnastics and dance classes for a couple years now.  Because we had our house for sale, I waited to sign her up.  (I also missed the sign up dates for winter session while we were moving into our house.)  When summer rolled around we finally got Sadie into a tumbling class.  We decided to let her try some classes at our YMCA.  We love the staff and the programs they offer.  Kinnick and Sadie did 2 weeks of swim classes at the beginning of summer and Sadie's tumbling was on Monday nights all summer long.  We loved spending our Monday nights at the Y this summer... Sadie did tumbling, I did Zumba and Marc would meet us for swimming afterwards.

Sadie loved her teacher Miss. Heather (who also happens to be one of my favorite Zumba instructors!)  At the end of her summer classes Miss. Heather told Sadie she could move up to the next class because she had mastered all of her beginning skills.  Sadie decided she really wanted to try a dance class so she's taking a break from tumbling for fall to do a hip hop/jazz dance class (also taught by Miss. Heather!)  She's excited to try dance but also wants to do more tumbling (we told her only 1 thing at a time).  She's been practicing her cartwheels, handstands, jumps, and bridges every day... inside and out!  I love watching her learn and develop.
