Gymnastics

Sofia has been going to gymnastics the past 9 weeks and we LOVE it. I love it for so many reasons - she learns how to follow directions, how to wait her turn, and how to behave in a class setting. Plus, it's pretty entertaining to watch. She loves it b/c she gets to run off all that energy. And she loves circle time songs. I think the thing she loves most is trying to jump. She tries her little heart out, but can't quite make it yet. The day she can actually jump will be a HUGE day! She also is learning all of the things she can do with her little muscles! It's a great activity and I've actually seen her make a lot of progress since her first class which is so cool. Now, when we arrive, she gets so excited and says "GYNA-TICS!" It's awesome. My favorite class we've done for sure. I think Daddy may become the swim class guy ;)

And now of course - for some video!....there are a lot so choose wisely :) Most of them are pretty short (less than one min. each).

This one is the first part of class. They always sing some songs and do some "warm-ups" in circle time and there's always a new prop - a block, a scarf, balloon, etc. This day it was a ball....

Here is one of the obstacle courses in the next part of class...

In this part of class, the teacher helps with some "skills". Sofia trying out her flip...

"hanging out"

These two videos show Sofia's favorite things - the trampolines. If you only watch one video, watch the second trampoline video. Well worth it :)

Lastly - Circle Time - singing "Goodbye Friends"
