OLIVIA'S 1st GYMNASTICS CLASS!!!

Last night Olivia had her very 1st gymnastics class!!! It was SO cute! She is entered in the recreational Gym class with kids ages 18months-3years old! This is provided through the City of Gatineau and taught through omnigym. The coaches were fantastic - very young, tolerant and energetic! We loved that instruction was provided in both French and English - great in ensuraning Olivia's biligualism!

Olivia outside the house, on our way to her first class!!!
...she was excellent! She did not get shy at all and was so excited by all the kids and the actual gymnastics equipment! She participated (and in my opinion excelled) at every station...lol!

Walking sideways and balancing...
Walking backwards and balancing...
..the great big bouncy floor! She loved this and was jumping like a complete maniac!
...Waiting her turn for the parallel bars! TOO CUTE!
...heading into a somersault!!!
...Warm up exercises!
...just taking it all in!
CHEESE!
We had a blast. The class is once a week and 40 minutes long. We now know why it is only 40 minutes (besides making sure they keep the attention of these wee toddlers)... both brad and I (and Olivia) were completely exhausted by the end of it!
Olivia's wardrobe, provided by Grandma. SO ADORABLE!
We look forward to what next week brings!

We have several videos (which are super cute) but I'm having a difficult time getting them to upload today!!!!
