Gymnastics!

We signed Hunter up for gymnastics! I wanted to give him a chance to take a "class" with other kids and learn to follow directions from a teacher like person. I figured since he's never been in daycare to learn those skills, it would be really good for him! And since we plan on him being a big NFL star, it doesn't hurt to start early to learn balance, coordination, and flexibility skills!

On Wednesday, Hunter had a terrible day. He was a grump all day, and was more unhappy then I think I've ever seen him! He didn't even want to take a bath! Well, we had gymnastics that night...grrreeeaaat.

We all sat in a circle and "warmed up" by singing songs and doing little activities. Hunter would do NONE of it and made quite the spectacle of himself by screaming "NO!" over and over again. I thought it was going to be a long hour...

Once we moved on to the trampoline's though, his attitude totally changed and he had SO much fun learning to do all the different things. He even "volunteered" to help his instructor, Miss J.J., show the other kids how to do a trick on the bar! He is also very skilled at the balance beam -- maybe that's because his feet are so small, or maybe he is just very coordinated! It was a lot of fun, and we're excited to go back!
