Gavin has loved doing somersaults ever since he saw the girls doing them in dance last year. I can never quite catch a picture of his actual roll but here is one right after. Shayla does excellent somersaults and is getting pretty good carwheels as well. Eris has learned how to do a perfect back bend and is close to learning how to flip herself over. At gymnastics yesterday she watched a little 6-year-old doing front and back handsprings and thought it was amazing. Even though she has been nervous about tumbling and flips on the bars, she is sticking with it and getting better every time she tries. Her teacher, Coach Jen, thinks she'll be able to tumble within the next couple of months as she builds her arm strength and her confidence. She is also loving her dance classes; tap, ballet and jazz and her teacher, Ms. Karen, told me she does very well in class. She pays attention and has the type of passion and talent for it that could get her far if she chooses. Eris describes dance as "her life" so I'm sure we'll see some amazing things from her in the future. The kids love to stretch together and Shayla and Gavin usually try to exercise with me when I'm doing my workout videos. We've all seen Shayla and her dance moves but Gavin has some of his own fancy feet that are absolutely adorable!
