Gymnastics

Leah and Alissa are both enjoying a gymnastic class at the YMCA. Leah's class is on Tuesday evenings and is 45 minutes long. They do a little bit of everything in the class. It's certianly not up scale training, but she gets a little taste of everything. The first day of class, she like the beam best. They didn't do the beam on this past Tuesday and they did the spring board instead. Leah loves gymnastics right now. I am not sure if we will stick with gymnastics after the 8 week program is finished or if we will go back to dance. I am leaving it up to her, but we will not do both even though that's what she wants right now.

















Alissa’s gymnastic class is a half hour and it’s a mommy and me class. The half hour flies by and Alissa really loves it. It’s good for both of us to get time, just the two of us. She spends most of the time running around and laughing. I spend most of my time chasing her. She has really been enjoying a tube that she crawls through and the mat that she does summersaults on. She loves just about any of the swashy mats and will just fall and crawl on them. It's very cute and these pictures don't do the experience justice.

Growing up Fast

Things are being to fall into place and we are starting to make our craziness into a routine. This Tuesday Caleb had his meet the teacher and registration for preschool. He thought that it was fun. The had doughnuts there and that's the main thing that he talked about when people asked him what he did. Next Tuesday Caleb will have his first day of school without Mom. I think he is excited to start school so he doesn't feel so left out of things. Look for a post next week with the details and pictures of his first day in preschool!

My bud is getting so big!

This week has also been the start to several other activities to make sure that our lives stay very busy! Leah started gymnastics on Tuesday evening. It is a 8 week program through the YMCA. She loved the first time and there was only 3 kids in her class. This gave the teacher a lot of time to work with each kid. It's not the highest quality instruction, but she is having a good time trying new things. She said her favorite part was the balance beam. Silly mom forgot to take her camera. I'll post some pictures later.

This morning Alissa and I started a Mommy and Me tumbling class at the Y. Alissa loved it. I wasn't sure that I wanted to add that to our schedule, but after watching her have so much fun I decided it's worth it. It's nice because her and I get some one on one time too. Again, mom didn't take her camera. Alissa loved the mats. She was jumping around on them and thought it was so funny. She also loved a tube that she could crawl through.

Don't worry, Caleb isn't left out of the classes at the Y. Can you tell that our family just joined? Caleb with start soccer this Saturday. Right now he is pretty jealous that he can't do gymnastics, but I think he'll feel better after soccer starts. I am going to try really hard to remember my camera on Saturday!
