Our Little Gymnast

Kevin is night flying so he was able to join us for Jack's gymnastics lesson this morning. We did totally different activities from last week so it was fun to see Jack trying more new things. First, the kids in Jack's class and the older toddler class played with a giant parachute. Jack had a blast moving the parachute up and down and then running around on it when it was his turn (and often even when it was not).


The second circuit today was beam work. Yes, I'm serious. The beam. As you can see in the pictures, Jack had a little help to keep his balance but he walked across them several times. He especially liked when he got to crawl up the beam like a bear. He even made sound effects.


The last circuit was on the bar. The teacher tried to get all the kids (including Jack) to do a flip around the bar. Yes, I'm serious. A flip around the bar. (We got a video, but it's kind of long so I'm not sure I'll be able to upload it.) Jack's favorite part of the bar circuit is the giant styrofoam pit. Here is a video of Jack swining on the bar.

The final activity today instead of bubbles was jumping on the trampoline. Jack still hasn't mastered getting both feet off the ground at the same time, but he is great at bouncing.
