In the beginning of the class we are sitting on the floor in a circle doing warm ups.......one of them is where you are sitting, feet together and straight out in front, toes pointed, leaning back on your hands - then you bring your legs straight up as high as you can (like v-ups w/o taking your hands off the floor)......her legs go up with ease and almost touch her face - teacher was like 'Wow you're doing great!"
Then they were doing their flips on the bars and she puts her upper body over the bar so that it rests in her armpits and brought her legs up parralell and just stayed there grinning and swinging..... the teach said "wow you're one strong little girl....now try to put your feet like this......"
I love going to class with her. This is the last session that any adults get to go through the class with her, she moves up to the next class because her 3rd birthday is this month.
I'll just have to be content sitting in the bleachers watching.
