Our Little Gymnast

My class went on a field trip to the Allen ASI Gymnastics on Friday and it was much better than the location I had gone to in the past with my classes. While I was there I inquired about their toddler programs and signed us up for a preview on Monday night at 6. They offer classes on Monday and Thursday evenings and Saturdays. Since their make up policy isn't as liberal as Gymboree's we knew that Saturday wasn't an option. But loved the month to month and no contract that they offer.

The class started out on the trampolines. Jack wasn't too sure about how to jump since he gallops when asked to jump lately (most get that on film for ya'll...it is priceless) and he rather jumped from one trampoline to the other. I'm sure Coach Taylor at that point was real excited about the new ADD kiddo in her class.
Then it was over to circle time where we worked with following directions to music with stuffed animals and tapping sticks. Jack was having some concentration issues with all the people everywhere and the bell ringing whenever someone did good (then everyone in the gym stops to class) or when a class ends.

The obstacle course was a true test of his concentration and trust. He wasn't too sure about the tumbling but by the end he picked up on most of it except for the back roll....wasn't too comfortable with that. Loved climbing the foam stairs though.

And you know that jumping into the foam pit (my least favorite thing EVER) was a huge hit.

Looks like Dad will have to join him since we signed up (minus the $30 registration fee thanks to a student who is a member and they scored a $30 credit too) because I WILL NOT go in the foam pit...my throat closes up just thinking about it. Looking forward to Thursdays in January with our little Gymnast at ASI.
