Little Gym

Today was our very first class at Little Gym!  I'm so glad we decided to try this out because Ays absolutely loved it!  Little Gym is just like it sounds...a little gym :)  The classes are geared toward young children, with the goals of increasing strength, coordination, listening skills, etc...all while having fun, of course!  They put him in with the 19 month-2.5 year old's since he can walk/run really well.  He is definitely the youngest in the class, but had no trouble keeping up.  He was running, laughing and giggling the whole time.  He even hung from the bars by himself...this gymnastics momma was very proud ;)

We will attend classes once a week until June.  This will be a great way to burn off some extra energy, as well as an opportunity to interact with other children Ayson's age.  Here are a few pics I took on my phone while chasing little dude around.  

Making a new friend while waiting to start class

Playing with the parachute...this was one of his favorite activities.  He was really good at "squishing the air bubbles!" 

Climbing up on the beam.

Randomly pausing to dance to the music :)

Loving bubble time!  On a side note...bubbles seem to paralyze children :)  This was literally the only time during the whole class where all of the kiddos were focused on the same thing.  Too funny!

And here's a short video of Ays climbing over the mats.  Not too graceful yet, but it won't take long :)  You can also hear him giggling at the end.
