Abby had been showing an interest in gymnastics (sommersaults on our bed, using our couch as a trampoline, etc.) so we decided to enroll her in gymnastics this fall. She's in a class where it's just the children and their coach/teacher (without parents). However, there was so much chaos the first day with parents and kids, classes ending and starting, that Abby was very overwhelmed and frightened. We did well to keep her in the building. 
So, Jon started going on the floor with her until she feels safe enough to be there on her own. Today was by far her best day. She remembers what to do at each station, even if her coach doesn't remind them. She had so much fun and came off the floor telling me about all that she did "all by herself!"The top picture is of her doing the crab walk (her friend Sarah is behind her).
