Little Gym

It was a rainy day and the Slades were bored, so we stopped at Little Gym for a class. Turner would have nothing to do with it, so Taylor and mommy got to spend a full 45 minutes completely alone. I mean, alone. Most kids hung in the circle, making friends and paying close attention to the teacher. But not our Taylor. He ran around, giggled with excitement and tried everything out. What a little ham!!! Taylor climbing up and meeting another twin!

Taylor exploring on the balance beams with the orange frisbee that he stole from the circle time. Make note of all the other kids playing in circle time with balls.

Taylor exploring the tumbling blocks. See all of the backs toward us? Yep, everyone else was in circle time but happy, go lucky, Mr. Independent Taylor.

Taylor dunking the ball!

Finally, Taylor ended the session by joining in circle time.

This proud mommy can now report that Taylor LOVED it. He is quite the little gymnist. He hung from the parallel bars, walked on the high balance beam, putting one foot in front of the other, holding only mommy's hand and did a front flip off of a mat.

The End: Turner sleeping soudly after he and daddy played in the toy store next door. Evidently, while daddy was in line to pay for some new Thomas trains, Turner grabbed a handful of matchbox cars and make a run right out the front door, laughing all the way. Nice, we got a theft at 23 months. : )
