Our Little Gymnast

My friend Jeanie is a gymnastics coach, and whenever I would see her we would always talk about how I wanted to sign Brett up for one of her classes. Well, with the craziness of life and other activities, I would forget until the next time I saw her - and this went on for probably the past year or so! Well, I am happy to say that I finally followed through and signed my boy up! The session actually started earlier this year, but Jeanie let us sneak in half way through :-) It's a group of  7 kids (5 girls and 2 boys) - the perfect size class for Brett - and he absolutely loves it!! I can't believe I didn't sign him up sooner! Jeanie is an amazing coach - encouraging, patient, silly, and knows just how to get these energized kids to listen...and Brett adores her! He looks forward to gymnastics every week and smiles throughout the whole class. He often asks me "when are we going to gymnastics?!" and looks forward to the class all week long. Below are some of the many pictures I took of him in action :-)

They start out doing their stretches and warming up.



Next, the kids sit on their carpet squares and do floor activities.



I absolutely LOVE this picture of Brett and Emma making googly eyes at each other :-) Brett has good taste, don't ya think?


After that, the real fun begins! 





"Follow coach Jeanie!"


At the end of class each child gets a stamp and a gymnastics coloring sheet to take home. Brett looks forward to this every time :-)

Yep, we have a little gymnast on our hands :-)
