Gabby's First Gymnastic Lesson

“Gabby’s First Piano Lesson” was not really Gabby’s lesson. That was Rebecca’s lesson. Like Mommy, Gabby just went to watch. When she gets older, she will have piano lessons of her very own. She has long flexible fingers like Rebecca. She loves music. She likes playing piano because she plays at home sometimes. So Mommy believes she will love her own piano lessons in the very near future.

Unlike that piano lesson in which Gabby just watched but didn’t play piano, this gymnastic lesson, which Mommy called a lesson, was really Gabby’s lesson because she did gymnastic. But it was not a lesson, neither. It was a birthday party.

It was Ryann’s birthday party. Ryann is Gabby’s friend at La Petite Academy. The birthday party was held at Little Gym of Gilbert. Rebecca went, too. There were mats, bars, balance beams and rings in the Gym. Two Gym staff organized a couple of games, then most of the time the kids were allowed to free play in the Gym. Gabby didn’t like the games very much, but enjoyed the free play. She walked on the lower balance beam, did tumbling on the mats, and crawled over the bars. Her favorite was grapping a ring, dangling around and then jumped onto a mat. Gabby created her own ways to play the bar and ring, but it was ok. The first important job at a birthday party is to have fun. Gabby did that job and had a great time.

Rebecca had a great time, too. Mommy got to see her skills on the balance beam and bar. She could do jumping on the higher balance beam and rolling backwards on the bar.

Gabby’s first gymnastic "lesson" was fun.
