So my niece is loving her new gym and structured practices and skills and everything. Like I said up until this summer she'd been doing rec classes through the city recreation district. I brought her to a few gyms and we both really like the one she's at. Anyway she tested into a L 5 group originally because she had a lot of the skills, including her kip. Now she's picked up her squat on, long hang kip and tap swing. She's working on her back kip circle and is really close. Bars were always one of my weaker events so I'm just really proud of her. She told me that she used to play on this (from what I get, abandoned) playground near her mom's apartment and would just spent hours messing around on the monkey bars. Glad she's in gym and not some random playground doing this stuff lol! Her biggest thing right now is the vault, she says it's weird running full speed into something that's not moving (I love vaulting).
But yeah I just had to share! I'm loving being a "gym mom". I think part of her motivation is to move up to L 6 soon because there's more girls her age in that group. We'll see! I told her gymnastics takes time and I generally spent a year per level. She's also just very excited to get a competition leo. I got her her first new leo (she was wearing some of my old ones, the ones from when I was older than her, she's definitely has a different body than me, a lot taller- compared to me who fully grown is maybe 5' and thinner with long legs!) the other day. I think she's caught the gymnastics addiction! My brother is thrilled with me ha ha, especially when he had to write the first few checks for gym stuff the other day.
