Buddy's was a little nervous prior to the first class and kept saying it would be "scary". The class is a parent/child class, so we were able to reassure him easily. As it turned out, Buddy lost his fear of gymnastics almost immediately.
He spent most of the entire warm-up period spinning in circles. He was just a little bit excited.
After the warm-up, the kids followed the teachers instructions and crawled/skipped/hopped/etc. to one end of the mat and back again. Buddy did great (especially on the bear crawl) but only ran on the way back.
The last part of class was spent doing an obstacle course. Buddy really enjoyed the balance beam, especially because the kids had to step over the three stuffed animals sitting on the beam. He also enjoyed doing the log roll and was actually pretty good at it!
After Buddy's class finished, we had a 10 minute break before Punky's class started. In the future, I am hoping that either Derek or I will be able to take Buddy home instead of trying to keep him busy during Punky's class.
Punky's class followed the same schedule as Buddy's. Apparently, our little Punky thought she was quite the gymnastics expert because every time the teacher explained a jump, skip, or hop Punky would shout out that she knew how to do that (which wasn't always the case).
She's got some practicing to do on her skipping and hopping, but she really had fun doing it all!
