First Tumbles class..

Maya had her first class at JW Tumbles today. We didn't know what to expect, but have heard rave reviews about the class from other kids and parents.

It started out innocently enough...we were one of the first to get there and Maya decided to start exploring the equipment on her own:



Yes, that was as precarious as it looks. She ended up falling between the mats a minute later-but no tears ;)

Maya's friend Owen was hungry for lunch:



We're optimistic for the future of Maya in tumbling. We'll have to wait and see how next week goes. She cheered up immensely when she had pizza for lunch afterwards ;)
