Tumble Tots – week 1.

Last night was Greyson’s first Tumble Tots class! It’s a short 6 week class that introduces him to gymnastics. To say he had a blast would be putting it mildly! Greg and I were able to sit on the bleachers and watch as he warmed up with a quick jog around the gym, did his stretches and then followed the directions of his teacher in a series of mat exercises. The class is for 3-5 year olds, so it is a bit hectic and not as structured as I had imagined, but the kiddos were so cute. The mat exercises were animal themed, and they traveled the length of the mats as birds, alligators, frogs, doggies, horses, crabs, snakes, etc… so cute to watch them all. Then they brought out the balance beam!! It was incredibly high and I was a bit worried, but with an instructor on each side holding his arms, Greyson walked forward, backward and sideways across the beam!! He did so great! Each time he would get down, he would look for Greg and I and give us a thumbs up. He of course flirted with all the little girls, and took very quickly to an older girl (I’d say about 12) who was there helping out. He was always next to her, chatting away, and holding her hand!! He’s such a flirt!

It was a blast, and we can hardly wait for next week!

  1. I bet he will have a blast! We have Aidan in gymnastics as well. Actually, he recently told us he didn't want to do it anymore, but at least he learned how to do all of his sister's "moves" without killing himself or becoming a paraplegic, which was really my goal of putting him in gymnastics in the first place. ;)
