Little Gym

Molly and I went to the Little Gym today for a free visit. It is a mommy and me class that we went to for 10-19 month olds. The Little Gym has classes for kids starting at 4 months on up. It turns into gymnastics training as you get older. Today, Molly did her first summersault. Ok, really she put her hands down and I flipped her over in total control. (don't worry Grandpa she is fine) She loved every minute of it. She was the youngest in the class and the only one not walking yet but that didn't stop her from doing anything. Steve (the owner and teacher) said that she is a very active little girl and when she starts walking-watch out, we won't be able to keep up with her. He was impressed with how strong she was. She was able to do the London Bridge (hold onto a bar, feet on the wall so you are parallel to the floor while being supported so they don't fall) better than some of the older kids. GO MOLLY!!! She is our strong little girl with a crazy grip. Don't mess with our little girl! Sorry no pictures. I was too busy chasing that girl around the gym. It is a room full of mats and all sorts of gymnastics equipment. I loved the parallel bars that were her height. She held onto them and took a few steps. We also did barrel rolls down a sloped pad. And bounced on a springboard. She was so cute. Laughing all the time. You could see her brain taking it all in when she would stop and watch the other kids. I think it will be good for her to be in a class with older kids. We will she how much we get to go. The summer sessions are the most convenient times, I would need to change her napping routine for us to go once a week. We shall see.
