ethan's first tumbling class!

ethan had his first tumbling class (and really his first orgnanized class period) tonight. i was so excited when i found out from another mom in town that the local gymnastics place does a toddler and parent class. we were a week late signing up, but there was still an opening in the monday class, so i signed up right away. the timing is perfect (5:30-6) and lance can easily come over from the office to watch miles while i am in there with ethan.

i was a little nervous as to how ethan would behave, especially since he isn't used to doing anything structured. but he did great! he was able to follow directions and tried to do everything except some of the early stretching. guess he thought that was too girly :) there was actually only one other little girl in the class and she wasn't overjoyed to be there, so ethan got lots of turns on everything.

they did some walking on a balance beam, swinging on the bars, jumping in the foam pit and trampoline. his favorite was definitely the trampoline. least favorite was the balance beam, but he tried everything. he even did some forward rolls on the trampoline and liked them. he was very cute (of course!) and energetic and loved the little star stamp he got on his hand at the end. i think we will really enjoy this class.

lance was able to get a picture, unfortnately it isn't the best quality because he had to take it from behind the glass...but you can see him right over by the vault (i think that is what that is) hopefully in the future we'll be able to get some more pics of him in action!
