Sydney and Gracie in Gymnastics

Three days ago, I got to see my girls in their gymnastics class. Sydney takes it very seriously. She stays engaged the entire time doing roll-overs, cart-wheels, head and hand stands, etc. She is actually pretty good. She is an active child, so this is right up her alley.

Gracie, on the other hand, likes to play and she is not yet as strong as Sydney. So, Gracie kind of flops her way through her moves. The teacher worked with Gracie a bit on her cart-wheels and head stands. So, Gracie is up against this soft wall thing and is desperately trying to do a head stand when the instructor comes to her and helps her lift her body. She falls and before trying again she says, "This thing is heavy!". Her instructor can't help but laugh. The "thing" she is talking about is her hind side and legs. She finally achieves a nice head stand with the giggling instructor's help :)
