rubberband boy

 

My little gymnast.
This is his second year with gymnastics.
He loves his new coach and he's
learning all the apparatus.

We just found out that Will's friends in his class
call him 'rubberband boy,'
because of his flexibility.
Will likes his nickname very much.
And he likes being the best in his class.
He's about ready to move up to Level 4.

We're very proud of Will and all that he's accomplished!

5 year old Will has very little fear of most things,

in fact he'll try anything physical.

As a toddler I'd find him walking along the outside of the staircase (holding onto the railing)

on the second story of our landing,

with a huge smile on his face.

I almost had heart failure.

Last Fall he started gymnastics and he's mastered cartwheels, roundoffs and the splits.

He's working on handstands and next will be back flips.

For the Summer he'll be moving up a level with the bigger boys.

Awesome job Will!

We couldn't be more proud of you!
