In an effort to get Evan moving his body in different ways; I enrolled him in a "Tiny Tumblers" class with the local gymnastics group. He goes to class once a week for 45 minutes (which is definitely the maximum attention span for him). He didn't quite know what he was supposed to do, which I expected. He was more interested in hanging out with the older girls (of course). It was extremely warm in the gym (welcome to the hot days before monsoon season comes)!
Evan "stretching" before class:
He wasn't sure what to do next:
At the first station where he is supposed to hang on the rings and walk a little thing that simulates the width of a balance beam:
Trying to hang on the rings:
"Walking" the balance beam:
Trying the rings again:
Moving on to the next station (the trampoline and pit), Evan sat back and observed first:
He ventured out onto the trampoline:
Going into the pit:
One thing he did like was flipping over backwards:
At the third station they are supposed to hang from the bar, roll down the wedge, go through the tunnel and do a cartwheel
Evan did like going through the tunnel...although here he decided to go backwards:
"Cooling down" at the end of class, I had to chase him down a few times to come sit down, he wanted to be with the older girls working on their floor routines ;-)
Whew! All done!!
