Yesterday I took Nathan to Gymnastics class for the first time.This was a trial run. for a few reasons. First off, I've never taken anyone to gymnastics class. When I took gymnastics in High School it was a bit of a joke, since I was afraid of walking on the balance beam And was really not so very graceful when it came to floor work. Also, Nathan is still a week shy of 2, and this was the 2 - 3 year old class.
It was great. Sure, the whole gym was 90 degrees, and Nathan kept running off to try out other equipment and join the other class. Sure he needed help doing the forward rolls and couldn't slide down the polls. But so did everyone else.
Nathan LOVED it. He got to bounce on a huge trampoline, and he got to roll around in a bin of spongy material. He got to climb and slide and hop around... And at the end he was smiling his biggest smile... up until he saw me holding his shoes, at which point he screamed and ran back towards to gym. I carried Andrew out the door in the carseat carrier, and Nathan kicking and screaming out the door in my other arm.
Nicholas has his first class next week. I'm thinking this is a MUCH better choice than Library story time for him, even if you have to pay for it. Because Library story time is so much like school... Nathan can do both.

cool!!!
step 2) buy a trampoline for your back yard!!
Why isn't Nicholas in gymnastics too?
Nathan will grow up to run away with a travelling circus -- & you have started him down the path of his future employ. He will fly through the air with the greatest of ease, be shot from cannons, run Cirque du Soleil, marry the tightrope walker...Thank you, Mommy!!!
Sounds great fun :-)
I love the shoes photo.
