B the gymnast

We joined the gymnastics club just down the road from our house, and B has been taking the beginner class there since January. He LOVES it. He's taken gymnastics classes before, but they've always been four-week classes through the city rec program that were more like an hour of play than actual gymnastics. This club makes it fun for the beginners, but they seem to get pretty serious at the team level. He likes trampoline the best -- who wouldn't??

We started him so he could have a "thing" of his own, something he did without Z. I hope he keeps at it for awhile. I think the strength, agility and confidence it builds is really good for him.

That's awesome! Our oldest son was in gymnastics for 10 years, competitive for 7 of those. He loved it!! Good luck B! :)

That's so cool! Great shots. He looks very professional. QQ was MADE for gymnastics, I think! Unfortunately (sad confession) the class in her agegroup is early on a Saturday morning, and while we are up at that hour, neither Mike nor I has yet been able to muster the energy on a saturday to get her there. So she's stuck doing yoga stretches with mommy in the livingroom.
