Gymnastics Class

Matthew and I have been going to a gymnastics class at the YMCA this spring. Today was our last day. Matthew really enjoyed the class, which was only for 1-2 year olds. Pretty much it involved just crawling over foamy things and jumping on the trampolines. All the little kids in the class loved it. Here's Matthew in "the tunnel."

After walking on the balance beam crayon, Matthew bounced on the tiny trampoline.

This long trampoline was a favorite with the kids. Matthew loved running down it and called it the "mattress."

These big circle things were fun to crawl in. Matthew liked to hang on inside while I rolled it over and over.

Matthew walks the toddler balance beam.

My personal favorite: the big pit of foamy cubes. Matthew and I would run and jump into it together. It was hard to get out of, and I almost lost a sock or two climbing out a few times, but so worth it. Matthew liked to "jump" in by sitting on the edge and sliding gently down into the pit.

And the tower that Matthew built, and then destroyed, made out of foamy cubes.
It was a fun class. Next week we start swimming lessons!!
