First Gymnastics Class

I just realized that I wrote this in March, but never posted it! Gym class is now over, but we are planning to enroll Emery in another class. Emery LOVED it. Gavin had moments of love, moments of hate, and lots of moments rolling around on the ground throwing a fit. :-) Seriously though, it was great for improving his coordination and balance. I just don't think it's his "thing". On the other hand, Emery might be our little gymnast!

Written in March:

Last Saturday, we attended a free trial glass at the Little Gym. The kids LOVED it and we are now enrolled in classes through the end of May. This is the first structured class that they have been a part of and they really seemed to like it. Gavin did lots of running around like a wild man trying everything out. He had very little interest in actually learning the skills, but he loved the parachute and bubbles. Emery wanted to learn and then practice, practice, practice. I really think this will be a good outlet for her. She loves the teacher, Ms. Lea, and also liked the dancing music. As you can probably tell, this isn't a hardcore gymnastics class. It's more like some gymnastics mixed with a bunch of other age appropriate fun stuff. The parents are involved until they turn 3 and then the kids are on their own while we (the parents) drink coffee in the lobby and watch while playing with our iphones. :-) The picture quality is awful because I took still shots from videos taken with my phone.......but you'll get the idea...........

We seriously are 2 peas in a pod. I called last week to get Lily into gymnastics. She hangs from stuff is constantly doing turns and flips. I hope she loves it. I wonder what our boys will be into?
