Parents We have officially perfected the handstand!

Well, after weeks of practice, my dd finally has her handstands down! She gets them perfect about 99% of the time. She has even started taking steps on her hands a little bit! LOL ......just like when a baby takes their first steps, this is a gymnast taking her first steps!

Now if she and her classmates could just get that pullover and back hip circle more consistent, they would probably start working on mill circles. I'm sure it will come quickly enough!

And just another funny tidbit...since they have been working on round-offs, dd's cartwheels that were already kind of iffy have disappeared. She has a beautiful round off for a 5 year old, but everytime she tries to do a cartwheel, she ends up going into a round off instead, lol! It is common for them to get them confused when they are little?

Thanks for letting me share! I am really excited about her progress since she has started this new class!
