Marley has taken gymnastics for almost 4 years. She began in the beginner class and this year was moved to advanced. She loves it, it’s truly her “thing”. Last weekend she participated in the annual event Ribbon Day. This is a fundraiser for the competitive teams and a chance for the recreational classes to show their stuff. Marley wants to try out again for team next year – she tried last year but was told she needed to build up her strength. She’s, therefore, been focusing a lot on that in class and at home. Marley is a very motivated child, so I think she’ll do great!Â

Marley is just so cute and little. I can’t believe she can do all those handstands, tumbles, etc. To be as shy as she is, I just love the “applause” picture. She looks like she is loving it. Do you suppose we have a future “olympian” on our hands ???? Way to go Marley !!!
