Gymnastics Videos

I've had several requests for photos/video of Shiloh at gymnastics, so here they are! I'm only posting the videos because the photos didn't turn out very well through the glass -- they were taken with my old point and shoot camera -- (and some of the videos aren't great either...but you get the point!). She was VERY excited to go to her first class last week, as you can see:



These videos are actually from this week, which was her 2nd class. She's in a 3-5 year old class, and most of the kids are 4 or 5 and have been taking gymnastics for a couple of years. She had to do a kind of "audition" to be accepted into the class as they don't allow all 3-year-olds into it based on ability level (which we hadn't realized before hand). Shiloh's very bouncy, skip-hoppy, dance-prone, and distracted right now in the classes, but she has a GREAT time. It's really funny to watch her but we also couldn't be more proud of the girl she's growing up to be. So without further ado, here they are!

A couple videos of her working on a circuit:

Working on the uneven bars (she's in the back corner on this one):

A couple videos of her first times on the balance beam this week. As you can see in the first video, she does pretty well until she loses her focus and begins worrying about the other kids around her:

Three-fourths of the way through her class today, she marched across the gym and started yelling through the glass, "Mom! MOOOOMMMMM!!! I'M HUUUUUUNGRYYYYYY!" Priceless.

Nevertheless, we're looking forward to watching our gymnast learn and grow each week. :-)
