Mini Olympics

Today was the mini-olympics at gymnastics. Basically they set up benches for parents to sit on, let us inside the gym and had a curcuit set up for each class to showcase what they can do. Ally is in the youngest class right, she moves up n ext week to the kindergarten level. She says its because she is getting bigger, and while that is true, its mostly because she has mastered the skils at the preschool level and gets to move up. Both Becky and I went to gymnastics to see the performance. It was fun to be there together. Ally was in her glory - she loved doing the tricks and being with the older kids.

All the classes waited patiently for the program to begin.

They warmed up by running around on the gym floor.

There Ally is in the back. She was so determined running, and with her mouth wide open with glee.

Then it was time for stretching.

And rolls.

And then at the end they all received a blue ribbon. Ally wanted to get back to class, so she does not look too chipper here. They asked that the students wear red, white and blue or some combination of those colors (to go with the Olympics theme). Ally's leotard is pink so she wore blue shorts and her red star shirt.

In the car on the way to class Becky and I explained to Ally what the olympics were, and we sand the olympic anthem/theme song. Ally thought it was hilarious and begged us to do it again and again. After about 5 times we stopped, and then we could hear her humming it to herself. Becky and I giggle when they played the anthem during the opening of the show.

I took video of Ally actually doing the program. And will post that in a separate post if possible.
