Gymnastics

I put Caleb in Gymnastics back in August.  The class is for 1 and 2 year olds and it's a mom and tot class.  I take him to Bailies gymnastics in Draper.  Some of you don't know this, but before I was a nurse, I coached gymnastics at Bailies.  So, I'm comfortable with the place and their teachers.  I thought it would be a good thing for Caleb to do to get him out of the house and he could learn all kinds of things there.  In my opinion, he was a little too young when we started.  He didn't really get how to do anything.  But in just the last month or so, he has really done a good job.  He now understands that his hands and feet go on the rubber hands and feet that are put on the floor for cartwheels and handstands.  He can hang on the bars without me holding his hand on for him.  He can climb the ladder by himself.  He can also jump and get both feet off the ground. Yay!  For any of you that have tried to get a 1 to 2 year old jump you know what a big deal this is.

They have a big pit with foam blocks in it that Caleb loves to jump in. Here he is in the pit.

don't ask me what happened to this picture.

I am so glad I have him in gymnastics.  He loves it.
