Gymnastics

Instead of swimming, we decided to enrol Caulder and Kessler in gymnastics this summer. They have been hitting the gym once a week for a few months now, and absolutely love it. We've seen quite a change in their balance, strength, and confidence since we started the class, and it is beginning to teach them to listen and focus. The entire class is composed of 2 year olds, and they are all so cute. It's pretty hilarious watching them do the skills. We are trying to get as much out of the classes as we can now, since it appears that neither of the boys will end up short enough to be gymnastic stars. 'Mat says...phew!' The place that we take them (the Wings Center) has a great set-up for the toddlers with all of the equipment you would see in a regular gym (trampoline, balance beam, parallel bars, vault, etc.), but scaled down for munchkins. Unfortionately, our photos are not that great, so we will have to post more in the future.
