Today was a big day for Finley, the fall classes for gymnastics and swim lessons started this morning. I was a bit concerned about scheduling both on the same day, but I really wanted to keep one day completely open during the week (Thursday~ we have playgroup, but don't have to go) and this was the only way to do it. She did great! Gymnastics was so quiet without the summer campers there. When things started, Finley was a little distracted with all the kids. There were 10 kids in the warm up and she has gotten used to one on one interaction with her coach. After the classes broke out, it was just Finley and one other girl with their coach. Finley became much happier and even did a flip over the bar. Her coach said she wasn't sure about going upside down, but she did it! After that, we headed straight to swim lessons. Finley also has a new teacher, Miss Crystal, who has been training with Mr. Cameron the past few weeks. Mr. Cameron has started back to college, so he is only teaching in the evenings. Finley kept calling her teacher Mr. Crystal, but other than that, she did great. She has passed four of the nine objectives for her Goldfish class. Miss Crystal had her floating all by herself today and Finley was so proud of herself. We can always change her swim class to another day if they schedule gets to be too much for Finley, but for now, it works.
