Chloe has loved gymnastics since about the 5th class of her first term (which was this summer, each term is 9 weeks). So we signed her up for a second term and she is improving all the time and she says she really enjoys it. She can monkey walk on the uneven bars, hang in an L position for 3 seconds, hold herself up on the bar with her arms, she can dismount off the balance beam, hold her bridge for a count of 3 and so much more. One of the big reasons why I wanted her in gymnastics is because I can't do a cartwheel (well I never could) and I am not flexible at all. I also wanted her to try something that I never did. So in came gymnastics. I hope she keeps it up, but of course if she wants to stop she will. 
She still needs a lot of practice and encouragement but she is getting better. She even looks forward to going to gymnastics. She loves the attention and that people watch her. And always wants someone other than mommy there to see her.
