Gym Class

So since Liam will be starting preschool in the fall, we decided that he needs to get some practice socializing with kids his own age. He tends to run wild and just wants to do his 'own thing' in new situations, and that does not make for a good student, so we took him to a couple of free trial classes at some local kid's gyms. The first one we went to was Gymcats. We got a coupon flyer in the mail announcing their new location. They are VERY close to our house, about a 10 minute drive. He had a great time! He got to try a bunch of new stuff like walk on a balance beam, and slide into a foam pit, and climb a rock wall! Then we went into the larger gym area and he got to hang from some rings, and a rope and jump on a trampoline. The second week we took him to Little Gym. He had a great time there too, running and jumping! Each place had their own benefits, but in the end we decided to sign up with Gymcats because they are closer, and they also offer a shorter 7-week class commitment, which we like because summer is coming, and we'd like to do other things on Saturday. I wasn't able to get any pictures of his trial class at Gymcats because Rowan was awake and needing my attention, but I was able to get a bunch of ones at the Little Gym.

Jumping!


Running...


Jumping some more...Notice in the above picture, all the parents are holding their kid, and Liam is bouncing around like Tigger! That is his personality to a 'T'. He bounced so much he went off the side at least once!


Climbing on bars...


More jumping!

That looks like so much fun! We might need to fine one up here for Landon. I think he would really enjoy that.
