Little Gym Grad!

Tyler has been going to the Little Gym for the past 20 weeks and they just finished up their fall classes and had their Show day and awards this past Tuesday. For those that don't know, the Little Gym provides an hour long gymnastics class for kids once a week where they learn how to tumble and get to play with others. The Show day was adorable and each child got to showcase their talents and perform solo in front of everyone. This first video is of Tyler doing the floor exercises...

Then it was off to the balance beam. Now, in the weekly classes Tyler tries to skip balance beam activities every time. He's not to comfortable on it...but put a crowd in front of him and he's ready to perform!

Then we have the high bars...Tyler NEVER does these! Miss. Bethany (instructor in video) tries every week to get him on here...but to no avail. The Little Gym is really great because they always encourage but never force the children to do anything they don't want. While we sat and watched the other children perform Tyler kept whispering to me "I don't want to do that" to which I would reply "if you don't want to do it just let Miss Bethany know" Well, of course when he gets up there my words turned into "mom says not to do that" What?? I love how kids translate!

After all the performing was done, off to get their medals!! Here's Tyler marching in...

This one is my favorite...he acts so cool and collected when he gets his medal...but watch his face moments after
