Ben's Last Day of Gymnastics

He's running along the balance beam.
I signed up Ben for the mommy and me gymnastics class again on a day that Elizabeth had preschool. He's almost too old for the class, and it was very obvious by all the 18 month old kids - and then my 2 1/2 year old Ben. He was about a head taller than the kids and only one other child could talk more than just words. It was kind of funny - but he loves doing this class with me so I thought we'd switch him to a class by himself when he was 3. (We accidentally went to the Thursday class once - that's another story - and there were a ton of kids his age so I think we just lucked out to get in the class full of young kids.)
He loves everything about his gymnastics class.

This is his favorite - running as fast as he can to the spring board - and jumping up and down.



Practicing his forward roll.

See all the young kids?! I think the boy on the right is about to be 2 - he's the closest to Ben in age.

The beginning of class. He had a great session and we are looking forward to one more session (with our friend, Emily!) before the end of the year. He wishes he could do it every day!

Ben, this class looks like it is right up your alley! We are getting VERY excited to join you - thanks for staying with the babies one more session. You will be the expert and Emily will want to be just like you!
