Gymnastics

Punky had her first gymnastics class tonight!  We've both been looking forward to this for weeks.  I wanted to enroll Punky in some sort of dance or gymnastics class in order to improve her coordination.  Some of those classes are so expensive and require a big time commitment.  I was so happy to find our community center offered a gymnastics class once a week for not too much money.

They started the class by stretching.

This is Punky trying her "gymnastics posture".

They completed an obstacle course next.  Punky was the very last kid to take a turn.  She did so well and waited so patiently!

 

At this point, Buddy was getting a little antsy.  It was so hard for him to see the other kids having fun.  He wanted to join them too!  We brought books to read but also took turns walking the halls, drinking from the water fountain and wrestling poor Buddy so he didn't run to the mats!

Parents are only allowed to view the first and the last gymnastics class.  It might be good for Buddy to stay home while Punky goes to class.  Less temptation that way!

They ended the class by playing with a parachute.  Buddy even got to participate!

I had to pull him out from under the parachute. 

I think Punky is going to have a lot of fun!  It will be exciting to see how much she has improved at the end of the 9 week course!
