from soccer to somersaults!

After trying out soccer last spring, Ashtyn decided that he wanted to try something new! He chose gymnastics! I searched the internet for a REAL gymnastics class and not just "mommy-and-me gymboree" and finally found an actual gym that teaches both boys and girls gymnastics! They even teach boys all the skills that men do in the olympics, like the floor routines, parallel bars, rings and pommel horse! This last Monday Ashtyn had his very first class, which was really just a free session to try out gymnastics and see if it's something Ashtyn wants to do! Well...he does! He had alot of fun! The coach had all the boys do somersaults, backward somersaults, cartwheels, stretches and some beginner work on the bars and trampoline! We'll be out of town next week but we're going to sign Ashtyn up for a weekly class starting in October! We'll keep you posted! Maybe, just maybe, Ashtyn has found his niche!!!
