Gymnastics!

Beatrice had her first day of gymnastics last night! It's Fun with a Friend (aka Mommy) for the under three crowd. She had a hard time warming up to the teacher and other kids. She didn't want to do any of the moves and at one point said, "home, go home." But then it was time to walk on the balance beams and jump on the trampoline and then slide down this long curvy slide, well that caught her attention. She loved the trampoline! Of course I had to jump on there with her a couple of times. And she loved the little pit with the foam blocks in it. I think that was her favorite. She got to hang on the uneven bars and do a handstand (with my help.) And I don't know how many times she went down the slide! We then got to move down to the main floor where kids of all ages were in their own groups with their own coaches and lessons. Beatrice had a little trouble staying in her group. She wanted to do what the older kids were doing. I think I got just as much of a work out as she did for all the running around after her I had to do. She did not want to leave when the class was over. I had to drag her out of there! I'm glad that she likes it and I hope next week she'll be able to participate more. I'm sure she'll still be distracted by the older kids though.
