Gymnastics 101




Today was Harrison's very first day in Mommy-and-me tumbling class. He did manage to do some jumping and running, tunnel crawling, mat climbing, and even a few somersaults - but most of the 40 minute class was spent like this....





Until he found an orange rubber star that he would not put down (he does have a thing for finding something and carrying it around FOREVER)...



a tumbling pro - clutching his star.


At the end of the class all the kids sat in a circle while the two instructors went around and gave each child a stamp on both hands - one of a flower and one of a gymnast. After Harrison got his first stamp - he looked up and shouted "MORE FLOWERS PWEEESE!" And I smiled a great big 'my heart just melted' smile.

That looks like such a fun class for the kiddo! Is it at gymboree or somewhere else? I bet it will be a great way to get some energy out and tucker him out so he will take a good nap later! :)

so so fun! I want to find a class like that for Ivy. My heart would melt hearing that too and sorry the first class involved some tears- it's ok, he's not even 2 yet!
