last kids gym

jack had his last kids gym yesterday (maybe forever...the owner is moving and is selling it). in the past 4 months i can see such a big change in jack. when we first started he did NOT want to go to the teacher...i had to force him to. now he goes when his name is called and loves to do whatever she asks. his feet leave the trampoline at the same time when he jumps now and when he first started he could hardly stand up straight on it :) he can walk across the balance beam almost by himself now and before i had to hold both hands and he still fell off every few steps. he still does not like to wait his turn, but will do it when forced! he struggles at circle time to stay seated, but he listens to directions from the teacher. for example, she tells them to open and close their legs to stretch and he does it by himself...i don't say a word! on the trampoline the other day the teacher asked him to lift up his arms and he did it right away.

he loves to "drive"

this is jack when we first started kids gym 4 months ago

he hasn't changed in appearance that much but his personality has...he just seems so much older to me now! i don't feel like i have to be right next to him the whole time anymore. he can climb so much better and knows the rules that i have given him.

he LOVES this and so do all the other kids. it is tough waiting for your turn! he does pretty good though.

playing with the teacher

parachute!! all the kids love this!

we weren't going to sign him up for the fall classes of kids gym because we are trying out kindermusic. i got a really good deal on groupon for the fall classes. i am sad that kids gym is over because jack had so much fun there. i might have to go back to the gymboree classes in the winter just to get out of the house and get his energy out!!
