Anderson's Gym Class

From October through December, Anderson took a gym and trampoline class at the community rec center that is literally 1/4 mile from our house.  I enrolled him to give him an outlet for some energy in the winter months on Wednesday mornings when we didn't have much else going on (and the class time worked well with Everett's napping schedule).  Anderson was a little slow to warm up to the class at first because during the first week's class he hurt his finger while doing a somersault on the trampoline.  So, he had to work through some fear issues during the next few weeks.  But, by the end of class Anderson always came out smiling and excited.  There was a nice big window area that the moms could sit and watch through so I got to see Anderson's progression from moving SO slowly and wobbly on the balance beam to being very confident, quick, and so balanced that he was able to do turns.  He even picked up some skills on the uneven bars (which I missed taking a picture of due to chasing Everett around!) We haven't decided if we'll re-enroll in the upcoming winter session.  It's really such a bargain price, though, that if Anderson wants to continue then we'll go for it.  Too bad Everett is too young to join the class with Anderson!  He wants SO badly to go in there with Big Brother each week. :(  Here are a few pictures I did sneak in and take on Anderson's last day.

Time for the big dismount!
