Gymnastics

Gold medal!

Since Paxton has SO much energy and is constantly jumping around, we thought it'd be fun for him to take a gymnastics class.  I signed him up for a 4-week class with his buddy, Callen.  Little did I know that this was more of a mommy and me type class.  Not that I mind, but it's hard being pregnant and getting down on the floor to do stretches and routines with the kids.  And with as much energy as Paxton has, he would run around from one place to the next with me following him and trying to teach him how to do somersaults, flips over the bar, walk the balance beam, etc.  I think I was more worn out after the class than he was!  Since Paxton had just turned two, his attention span is still not very long, so him listening to directions from the teacher only lasted a short while.  All in all, he had a great time running around trying new things.  Maybe when he gets a little bit older I will put him in another class like this...anything to burn some of that energy he has!

 At the end of each class, the teacher blew bubbles for the kids to pop.  For some reason, Paxton thought you should pop them, and then eat them.  Silly boy!  I was able to catch him eating his bubbles on video.
