Practice Makes Perfect

Riley started her tumbling class again last week.  She loves it!  We are at a different YMCA this year so there are different kids, teachers, and activities.  She absolutely loves jumping, doing somersaults, and playing with the huge parachute.  Like last time, she is scared of the older teacher.  It took the whole class for her to loosen up and participate in the stretching and singing that takes place at the beginning and end of the class.  We've noticed that she is very timid around other adults and in a class situation.  She is the oldest in her class and I'm hoping that it will help her build her confidence.  She's been practicing her somersaults at home and has finally nailed it down!
