Backbends & Splits!

Gabby is getting so great at gymnastics! She really loves it.

She loves it so much that she recently decided to quit dance. I think doing dance on Mondays and then having gymnastics every Tuesday and Thursday night for two hours was getting to be a bit much.

A few months ago Gabby came home to show us she could do the splits. And, a few weeks ago, she came home to show us that she could do a backbend all by herself. Wow! So impressive! He most recent accomplishment is doing a bridge kick-over. Basically, she can kick over and up to standing position when starting in a backbend. I have yet to record the bridge kick-over - but will do that soon!

It's fun to watch Gabby do all her tricks... and it's really fun to watch Rocco and Giuliana join in on it, as they'll always start doing somersaults, and trying to do handstands, etc. too. Always very entertaining for everyone watching!

For now, I have two videos to share - one of Gabby doing the splits and the other where she's doing a backbend. And, of course when Gabby starts doing her gymnastics… then Rocco and Giuliana start doing somersaults too. They also try to do handstands and cartwheels and that’s always very entertaining for everyone watching.
