Gymnastics

Last Thursday Sam, Julia, and Sophie started gymnastics class! This is their first real organized class so of course, they have no idea what to do. "Listen to our leader? What??! Do what other kids are doing? Inconceivable!" We also signed up for something called Toddle Time with our library and they listen to stories, do a craft, and sing some songs. I'm hoping that between these two things that the repetition of it all sets in and they learn how to follow basic instructions in a setting like this.
Sam's favorite part of class is the water break. Incidentally, check out his feet. Are they huge or what?
We ran a lap around the gym, went through an obstacle course, jumped on trampolines, and did forward-rolls.
Sophie was in her element. She's a natural at things like like this! I see a gold medal in her future.
Here's Sam and me toward the end of class.Their friend Ben is in the class too which makes it all the more fun! This is the end of class where everyone got in a circle on their tummies and patted their hands on the ground while saying goodbye.

That looks like such a fun class! We started our color playgroup on Friday and it was a success! Thanks for the ideas!
