Lily Flipped

No really she did, today at gymnastics the child did a back flip. One of those things that real gymnasts do. One second she was talking with the coach and she gave it a try but landed on her face (more heart beats that I will NEVER get back) and then "ping" she flipped. I would have caught it on camera for you but I was so shocked that I just stood there with my mouth open wide and then I think I uttered the words OMG. This is only her 3rd time she has attended class and she is already doing flips. She is so determined and won't stop until she has mastered something.
I thought today was going to be a disaster cos her friend Mia who also happens to be from China has switched her class so that they can be together so I thought for sure that they would be constantly getting into trouble for yipping but as it turned out they helped each other. The coach came up to me after class and said that Lily appears to be a natural and should get some private lessons to improve her skills. I think not at least for now. If she wants them later she can have them but I think it is a bit early to start making a gymnast out of her. Who knows it could be just a line they use on suckers to see if they will bite.
Anyway this is the little bit I did capture of her. Nothing very exciting cos I get riveted to the spot when she does death defying feats and forget to snap a piccie.
