Jonathan at Little Gym

On Saturdays Jonathan goes to Little Gym for gymnastics. He really seems to enjoy the time he spends there and he is well known to all the instructors. There are only about five or six children in the class so they each get a lot of one-on-one attention.

Tumblesault!

I'll stand right here and you straighten the rope.

Jumping over the rope

Everyone gets to hold on

They have lots of instructors and all of them were very young. I was impressed at how much fun the instructors seemed to have. They were very patient with the children even though most of the time the children did their own thing rather than what the instructors wanted them to do.

If you look at the hand of the instructor with her back to us she is holding a remote control of some sort. They use this to play music in the room for the children to do various exercises to. In the background where you see the various mats and devices are the different stations. At each station the instructor will show the children a different task to do, and each task works on a particular part of the body.

They also tell the children about healthy eating and good habits they should follow. The children seem to be really interested in what the instructors tell them.

Jonathan also likes to sometimes be silly.

Have you ever seen anyone more intent on watching something?

I can do this myself!

Look at me!!! You can see Jonathan cross this bar in the video at the end of this post.

Look, Mom. No hands!!
