Little Gym


I have taken all three of my boys to the Little Gym from when they were one to about two and a half. This semester was Casey's first experience and he immediately fell in love, just as Jacob and Gavin did. The most incredible thing was that he wasn't even walking or talking when we started in September. Now in just five months, he is a walking, talking machine. It's crazy how far they can come in such a short amount of time!

We start with circle time, introducing each toddler as they run up to bang on the tambourine.
Then they have warm-ups on the big red mat...
... and their teacher usually gets out the parachute or jumpy mattress.

They have free exploration time and learn a new skill each week.


Casey's favorite time is when his teacher brings out all the balls and bubbles!

I was a little disappointed that they handed out a ribbon instead of a medal this time, but Casey didn't seem to mind! :)
Last week, two of my friends brought their girls to check out all of the fun. They had such a good time together!

Love, love, love that place! I am signing Payton up for the Spring class. Are you going to continue bringing Casey? Maybe they will be in the same group?!

Heather, that would be SO fun! Casey just moved up into the 18 month class, but we'll have to come to your class sometime so our little ones can play together! :)

I so miss the days Coley used to go to TLG. It was such a great experience, and so many of us were there together! It was like a second home for our Small Group!

Looks like both boys (Adam too!) were having a great time!
