George Goes Gymnastics

Ok, sorry I haven't blogged in quite some time, but here are some recent pictures. After an incident when George was almost 3, he has had a fear of heights, and he has become very timid when trying new things. A friend of mine recently told me that she was enrolling her daughter in a local gymnastics program. I thought that gymnastics would be the perfect opportunity for George to build his confidence.

In late April, I enrolled George and his interest was sparked right away. He doesn't like the high bar too much, but he has no fear of the balance beam and the floor routines. He has learned a hand stand, a cartwheel and a back bend. IN May, George's gymnastics had a mini-olympics. I thought that George might have stage fright because it was in the CAC (BYU-Hawaii's version of the Marriot Center) and the CAC is large and intimidating to a 5 year old, but he amazed me. George ran right out when it was his turn and he remembered his entire floor routine! We are so proud of George and his new talent!!!
