Xaris LOVES her gymnastics class.
It's just a small company that sends teachers out to do tumbling programs in preschools and the like, but it's one of Xaris' favorite half-hours of the week. In fact, she likes it so much, we enrolled her in gymnastics in the Y...just in time for her to take 2 classes before the teacher got fired. We're waiting for them to find another teacher, and if they do, we'll pick it back up. Maybe in the fall though, swimming lessons are right around the corner!
ALSO: Breaking news...XARIS CAN JUMP!! We attribute this newfound skill to her gym classes. She can stand with both feet together, and actually jump several times! Glad she learned that one before she was three :)
loves bubble time at the end if they all listen to the teacher during class.
Of course the drawback to gymnastics classes is figuring out how to explain "do not try this at home" or "do not try without an adult supervising"....so I walked into the family room and saw this:
Wonderful! But fleece blanket on a tile floor. That blanket was due to slip anytime, and the resultant knock to the head would be a rough one! We moved the blanket and let her "practice" right on the floor.
