Earlier this winter Lane and I decided we were going to sign MaKena up for gymnastics. Some of our friends and family have signed their kids up for gymnastics and we thought we’d give it a try with MaKena. This week will be the 4th week and I have to say each week is getting better. After the first class I wasn’t so sure this was a good idea. MaKena didn’t want to listen to the teachers at the beginning when everyone was stretching and she wasn’t interested in doing the three stations they set up later during the class. All she wanted to do was play in the pit. Even mommy, daddy and Jacob joined in on the fun in the pit! The second week was much better. She listed to the teachers during stretch time in the beginning and was very interested in the stations that were set up for the class. After they complete a station the kids get stamps on their arms or legs. She was completely covered in stamps by the end of the night. She was running around so much she was sweating. She had so much fun. Last week was the third week and once again she had a blast. She didn’t care too much about getting stamps but she really enjoyed jumping on the big tramp. The first couple weeks she was scared of the tramp and would get mad when someone else was jumping on it with her. She doesn’t like to get knocked over on the tramp and there were several times she’d say “no baby, don’t do that” or she’d tell them to get off. It was cute, but I did have to remind her she needed to share and not to talk that way. It is so much fun to watch her run around and try new things. If anyone would like to come and watch you sure can! Her class is every Wednesday night from 6:50 - 7:40 at American Gold Gymnastics.
