Gymnastics is a Gift From the Gods

Today was the first day of Sasha's you're-spoiled-because-we-can't-afford-it-and-we're-doing-this-anyway gymnastics class.  What a perfect match.  He loved, loved, loved it and so did I.  Technically, it's my class, too, because we're officially a Dynamic Duo; I have to follow him around to provide assistance and prevent harm.

The activities include a trampoline, rings, a bar, a balance beam, bean bags in a bucket, a hopscotch form, and a bunch of foam thingies.  He liked most of them, and there's plenty of room for learning and development.  Like years' worth.

I failed at my duties today when he practically bent in half (the wrong way) and crunched his spine. I'm not sure how it happened, and he whimpered for a few seconds, but thankfully a hug was enough to fix it.  Needless to say, he didn't try out that piece of equipment again.

Here's a great video from the organization's (ok, it's one woman, Elizabeth, and she is awesome) website.
