Back at the Gym-Tumbling Time

Well as you all know awhile back Chloe decided she was done with gym. She wasn't happy doing team it was just too much work and not enough fun. She decided to quit and focus on swimming and soccer-so after much discussion on the matter I took her out. She didn't go for about 6 weeks and then she decided that she just missed gym to much. However, she didn't want to go back on team, she just wanted to take a class for fun. So we put her in the highest level of class they offered that wasn't team. Well this didn't work out because Chloe was so far advanced having been on team that the classes were pretty much a waste of time and money. They even tried her in several different ones and it just wasn't working out. Well we were really trying to figure out what to do: send her back to her old gym, go back to team, or just be done with gym all together. We decided to try one more option -tumbling... so she is still in the gym and doing most of the stuff she would do in gymnastics minus beam and bars. So far it is going great! The coach has lots of girls at different levels in her group and is good to work with each on their level. For now Chloe is in the beginning group but the coach said with her pose and form she thinks she will move to the advanced group pretty quickly (they have to be able to do 3 backhands springs in a row to go to advanced). Chloe is happy cause it is fun again and she is doing what she loves most-kicking up her heels :)
