(July 21,2010)

I signed Jameson up for a gymnastics class this summer. You could buy a punch card and then attend however many classes you paid for. It worked for me since I knew we would be out of town, and I could make up those weeks. Jameson was so excited the first day. He ran right in the class with his friends. Which wasn’t as good as you might think. After a few minutes, myself and another mom (I won’t rat you out 🙂 ) were asked to come into the class to help monitor our children who were not listening. There did happen to be about 10 kids that day so I’ll give the teacher that credit.  He couldn’t stop talking about it after that.

The next class wasn’t as successful. He didn’t have any friends this time (we went on a different day). He ran in the class, but then threw a fit and cried. Luckily, he had Miss Jen this time and she is awesome. She kept him whether he was crying or not, and got him to calm down.

We went out of town, and upon returning, had to start the whole process over again. I tied to only go to Miss Jen’s classes, because she was much better at handling the stress of so many toddlers. He didn’t like the beginning of class, but once he got comfortable, he loves “junastics” and talks about how “I listen to my teachers.”

He loves being in the big gym with the trampolines and “the pit.” Here he is doing their routine for the day. They do seat drops down the trampoline (he is easily distracted), then somersaults down the cheese matt, jump one either side of the red line, and then walk down the balance beam. Oh, and he’s with Miss Jen.

Enjoying his time in the pit.
