show night at elite

Since it had been a while since we had done a full session at Elite and the last time Cora was in the mommy and me group--this was the first official "show" night for the girls and I was so excited to see them! Now, i'm there every week--but this was a time for them to get to "show their skills" and parents are allowed to get up close and really be engaged and they loved it. They were both focussing and yelling at us to watch them, you could see how into it they were. 

Amara seems to really enjoy the different stations--though she's still struggling with the floor tumbling. I am not sure if her broken arm from the winter might be bothering her mentally? Either way she was shining on the beam and bars and her handstand vault is amazing--though too fast to catch on my slow photography setting apparently...

Cora was rolling and tumbling all over the springfloor and literally smiling ear to ear with her coach the entire time. She loves make the final move with her hands above her head--i'm surprised she doesn't do it more at home!

And Amara knew her floor exercises without being coached or prodded at all. She whipped through her skills as if to say "what else do we have here" and was done in a flash. I'm betting they have her move up to the advanced class this winter. 

At the end, all the girls lined up to wave and they were all just so proud of their accomplishments. Every single girl out there was smiling--and they wanted to be there. It was so great to see them so proud of their work and I just wanted everyone to be able to share in that moment forever.
