Willa's first day on the JO team

Willa had her first practice with her gymnastics team and it was great! Her teammates were so friendly and welcoming. We had asked a lot of questions about the other team members prior to joining the team, and the head coach assured us that it was a great group of girls. She was right! Willa didn't know anyone, but everyone was so wonderful that it was an easy transition. They had her practicing cartwheels and handstands on the beam, and learning all sorts of other new things. She loved every second of it, as her picture shows!

Right after she started, her team was in a parade! The parade happened to fall on National Gymnastics Day! Willa is in the blue leotard at the bottom.

She's off to a great start!
