Our Little Gymnast!

Gymnastics Graduate!

Ethan had such a great experience last year doing gymnastics that we were really excited to enroll him again. This year he was part of the Caterpillars group - 3 year olds that don't need any parent participation this go around. It was awesome to watch Ethan over the last seven weeks as he got comfortable with his teacher, did a great job listening and following instructions, and most importantly had FUN!! Each week they would start with circle time (stretching) and then start rotating stations. One station they would work on the bars, one station was the beam, and another station would work on floor exercises. There was always a fun activity at the end of each week that would be something like jumping on the big trampoline, riding the zip line, or playing in the ball pit.

 

Time to stretch!

These are the uneven bars where I hang like a monkey!

Using all my muscle strength!

Here I am on the tumble track. I would hop like a bunny with my arms up!

Time to jump in the balls!

The last class of every term is a celebration of all the kids accomplishments. They bring in a big bounce house for them to jump in, give each child ribbons and certificates showing their progress, and do a cute awards ceremony so parents can gush over their kiddos! =) And yes, I was one proud momma. He got stars and the best 'score' on all his skills - somersaults, cartwheels, listening and taking turns, and attitude. Great job, Ethan!!

Ta-Da! Great job Caterpillars!
