Tumble Time

I decided this month to switch Garrett from music class to a gym class so we started at the beginning of the month, or the last week of January. I can't remember! Garrett stays home with me on Wednesday mornings and we go to the gym class and then he goes to school.

Coach Liz is his teacher and she thought he would take a few sessions to warm up, yeah right, he took of running within minutes of the first class. He LOVES it! Each session Coach Liz has set up a different warm up routine. Each time there is a balance section, a roll or somersault section, and a bar section. He has gotten really good walking on the balance beams and he can even bend down and pick stuff up while walking on it. Dave has always said they got my balance which will help them on the slopes in the future!

After the quick free time at the start they do a little stretching on a colored mat, Garrett's is always purple of course. He is funny with this part, sometimes he participates, most of the time he just watches. Later in the week he will do the stretches at home. He has soak up what is being done before he will participate! After this there is a tumble trak that they jump on and Garrett has gotten a lot better at jumping with his feet together vs just running down the trak. The Jump and Sit trampoline is a kind of tricky one for Garrett still, he hasn't master this one, but I'm sure will someday.

Something fun and different to do with Garrett and great for him to exhaust some energy!
