Gymnastics Class

We're half way through our week of gymnastics.  We get free time at the start of class to go around and play with all the equipment.  Then we have circle time where we do stretches and exercises.  After we do three circuits through the equipment and practice some of the things we learn from the circle time.  At the end of class we sing the "Head and Shoulders" song, get a sticker and give the instructor a high five.

Isaac likes wandering randomly through the room so the free time is nice.  He likes bouncing on a trampoline and crawling under bridges.  When he approaches a bar, he lifts his arms up.  He doesn't always hold on, but was able to hang off the bar once by himself this morning.  He has a hard time with climbing a ladder horizontally and pulling himself along a bench like a snake.  We get to do lots of somersaults (off benches, along a beam, down a ramp).  We just started learning some basics for cartwheels.

So far it's been a good experience and we'll try to sign up for more classes in the fall.
