Autumn’s Gymnastic Performance

This year Autumn’s Gymnastic Studio, Jet Gymnastics, put on a Holiday Olympic Show. The preschool class did the Opening Ceremonies. They didn’t do a routine performance, they did a few warm up activities and then went around a big square doing Circuit Exercises to show off some of their skills. O sweet goodness, it was the cutest thing I have ever seen. After they performed, they all got to get on a raised platform to receive a T-Shirt & a Medal. I cannot put into words how proud Autumn was. She still to this day carries that medal around as if it is a sacred prized possession.

All ready to go preform. I really thought she was going to get really nervous and shy (she usually shuts down in big crowds) when she saw how big the audience was, but I was completely wrong. She was so confident and ready to go. Owen was so sweet and cheered really loud for her. She was beaming out there!

Believe it or not, she is not the youngest in this group :) My tiny little peanut with a BIG personality. Don’t believe me, check this one out…

Adorable, I know.

Doing the ‘Cha Cha Slide’. Her absolute favorite warm-up.

If you know Autumn at all, you know if she is concentrating you can guarantee her tongue will be sticking out :)

See what I mean. Hahaha!!

And I am 100% positive there is nothing in this World that can make my heart smile more than these two do!!!

 

Autumn has grown so much over this past year in Gymnastics. I kind of wish they got to do some stuff on the Bars because that is her specialty, her upper body strength and bar flipping amazes me. She can tell you the correct name of every trampoline jump, floor exercise, or bar position. She is also on sticking her landings after a bar routine and she’s working on mastering her Cart Wheels. I am SO very proud of her. I really think she’ll be doing this for a long time, it’s definitely her passion. She just got asked last month to move up a class from the Preschool Class to the Mini Devo’s Division. This is a big deal since it’s actually a team, most of the kids in it are in the 4.5-6 age range. She is completely fearless and extremely strong, maybe one day that will actually be an Olympic Medal hanging around her neck. You never know!

I love you sweet baby girl, Mommy, Daddy, and Owen are SO proud of you and all your hard work and dedication.
