Our little "gymnast"

Wednesday morning found us at The Little Gym for Thompson's last class of the Winter-Spring semester. Annie and Poppy (Bobby's parents) joined us as we celebrated the achievements Thompson and his classmates made over the past several months. (Considering the children were barely walking when they began, they've come a long way!) Thompson demonstrated his forward roll, backhandspring and then received his medal.

The Little Gym has been the perfect place for us to frequent weekly as it has provided an outlet for Thompson's ever-increasing energy, curiosity and climbing abilities. Thompson is learning how to roll forward and backward, hang on the bars, walk on the beam, run, jump and much more. Currently, his favorite Little Gym endeavors are jumping; climbing up, down and over the mats; walking on the beam; and popping bubbles. Plus, he's interacting with other children his own age and slowly learning what it means to share and wait your turn.

And finally, The Little Gym has also enabled us to meet several new friends who will continue at through the summer and into the fall.
