Go Go Cassidy...



Cassidy has started gymnastics. She goes every Wednesday. There are about 9 girls in her class and she is the tiniest one in her group, but she is also one of the strongest. She has a lot of power packed into those little legs. This past week she got to try some of her very favorite "events". It was her first chance to jump on the trampoline. They were instructed to do 5 seat drops....pretty sure she was able to squeeze in 10 before the coach noticed and encouraged her to move on to the next station.
She also loves to do the uneven bars. She has no problem walking right up to the bar and giving a big jump to grab on (most of the girls use a folded up mat to reach the bar). Last week she was the only one who was able to do a full flip and this week she was asked to show everyone how high she could swing getting her knees up way over the bar but not going all the way over.

Cassidy also really enjoys the beam. She is a little hesitant when she is up higher, but she never gives up. She is conquering the beam and with practice she thinks she will LOVE it as much as she loves the other events.

I loved gymnastics at her age. It looks like this is a great program, and I can completely envision her being a little gymnast. Go Cassidy!
