Mary Lou's got nothin' on our girl!

McClellan started gymastics a few weeks ago and we're seeing a future Olympian in our little Punky!

Take a look-Mary Lou Retton's beam routine-


And now McClellan's beam routine. 
 I mean honestly, look at that concentration and artistry with the ribbons.   


And now Mary Lou's bar routine-


And McClellan's bar routine-
Look at that upper body strength and her pointed toes.
You're looking at a Future Olympian, folks.


Here McClellan is doing her duo-beam routine with her friend Reese.

Daddy going over her beam routine before the competition begins.


Beam routine using the noodle this time.



Trampoline time!


Alright, we're not sending her off to Bela Karolyi anytime soon.  We'll give her a few years to develope, at least.  The truth is, I'm not sure if we're doing this for her, or for our own entertainment.

Either way, it's been so exciting watching her improve over the past few weeks.  These photos are from her first week in class and since then she's practically running across the balance beam on her own!  We're planning on bringing along the video camera for future classes.  When McClellan goes to the Olympics they'll want some footage of her early years.  ::wink wink::
