Gymnastics Class – A Photo Story, by Anna
Hi. It’s me, Anna. I wanted to write a post all about my gymnastics class yesterday but when I tried to type it out it looked like:
slkjdf s;dljsks lsdks;alksd jdsfjiwfnapan van3;3l6j 2.
..so instead I decided it would be a better idea to dictate to my mommy and let her type it out. Don’t get me wrong, I have some mad computer skills for a 3 year old, but I just haven’t quite learned to spell yet. That’s on Mommy’s to-do list for next week.
Anyway, yesterday I went to my second gymnastics class and Mommy brought her camera so we could share the pictures with everyone. I got to do cool things, like this funny crab walk:

And then see the instructor at the top of the picture teach us proper stretching techniques? Yeah, I wasn’t too interested in doing that. We’re still working on my listening.

I made a new friend who didn’t like to listen either. We decided to lay on our bellies and talk about girl stuff.

Here’s the teacher helping me do a bridge (Mommy calls it a backbend).

I made a pretty good bridge didn’t I??

My favorite thing was jumping on the trampoline. I get lots of practice at home so I was really good! Right here the teacher told me to hold my hands up high while I jump.

And then they taught us how to jump and then sit. Mommy and Daddy were really surprised that I did it because I would never do it on my own trampoline.

And then we had to pretend to be a dog and jump. At one point I was jumping on my feet and flew through the air and landed on my hands and knees…on purpose. I think I could hear Mommy and Daddy hold their breath while I was flying through the air.

This is how my group traveled to different activities. We were a train!

And then we got to jump off of a big mat and hold our hands up high above our heads.

Then we got to practice our forward rolls. I can do it really good and don’t need any help at all (even though it looks like the teacher is helping me). I do them at home all by myself!


Here I am getting ready to go through the tunnel in the obstacle course. I like to stop and motion everyone behind me to get in front of me. Mommy and Daddy were a little baffled when I did that. I’m just a nice person, what can I say?

Here I am climbing up the first mountain. These mountains were really tough to climb up!

See me in the foam pit! My absolute most favorite thing is the foam pit. I like to call it the swimming pool too. Mommy and Daddy gave me a big talk about staying with my group and not leaving to go play in the foam pit by myself like I did last time….but I forgot and I “swam” to the other side.

I finally climbed back across when I noticed that I would get to jump on the really long trampoline.

This was really fun!!

TA DA!

Thanks for reading about my gymnastics class. I love it and can’t wait to go back next week! I told Mommy and Daddy that I will be a better listener next time. :)
