Kenzie had struggled with gymnastics over the summer. She did really well over the winter last year. They had asked her to try out for the competitive team which she was asked to be on. She did not like it at all and cried the entire time she was at practice. It was pretty intense for even 2 and 3 year olds so I can kind of understand her feelings. After a couple weeks we decided it was not for her. She was a much happier 2 year old when she didn't have to go but still cried and got sad any time we mentioned gymnastics. So this fall I was reluctant but decided to try and sign her up for a 3 year old recreational gymnastics class. I knew she would struggle at first but was hoping she would realize it was fun. The first time I took her she cried the entire time even with me on the gym floor with her. I decided I would give her one more chance. The next week I took her and she was a little teary at first but by the time I walked upstairs to the viewing area she was smiling and having fun. Phew. I was shocked. I really figured she was just going to be done at that point. I was so proud of her!
She was all smiles afterwards and thought gymnastics was really fun! I am so happy for her (and me).
