Nastics

Lila had her first nastics class today! She waited with anticipation as the class before her finished and took it all in.

She actually seemed a bit nervous..until one little gril who was waiting too ran by her..that's all it took...one run by and she  joined in on the fun! SO Lila!

The amazing thing about Louisville Gymnastics is that the people that work there stay there...Miss Jo is the same nastics teacher that flipped..Riggs, Rollins and Sarah Kate for the first time...and I just love that about this place....and here she goes getting ready for her very first flip.....

and after the first flip she was hooked.... she climbed....

 She did the obstacle course....

She waited her turn to crawl through the tunnels and jump in the blocks...all the little piggies in a row...so precious!

She was all smiles...and just loved it...she was so into it, but still wanted me to carry her between stations...and I did...loving every minute of her still wanting to be in my arms. Everything is more bittersweet with the baby..all her first are my lasts. This was the last time I would bring a baby to gymnastics for the first time and enjoy the raw joy it brings that first time.

She loved the balance beam...and let Miss Jo help her the first time...after that...she insisted on flying solo...she tried so hard and was so focused...and as she got very focused...she stuck her tounge out of the side of her mouth...it was priceless.

But then came the the best part...the rings!!! Pure joy for Lila Ray!!!

 She can't wait to go back next week...and I can't wait to take her!
