Gymnastics!



Granny and Far got the kids gymnastics classes for Christmas this year and it has been really fun (thank you again Granny and Far!).   The classes are at the 92nd Street Y and have worked out well because Katie's class (18 month to 24 months) meets at the same time as Drew's class (3.5-4 year olds) on Sunday morning.  Drew's class is VERY intense and parents are not allowed in to watch.  His instructor is this older Russian woman who yells and is very strict.   Katie's class requires parental participation and has singing and dancing and is silly and fun. There are two gymnastics rooms next to each other and the two classes rotate from one room to the next.  At the end of the class, each group is allowed in this huge jungle gym structure with ball pits, swinging ropes, huge slides and other fun climbing equipment. The kids love it! Drew's class is 15 minutes longer than Katie's class, but the instructor lets Katie go back in with the big kids and play with Drew.  Drew and Katie are so excited when they find each other in the ball pit- it is like they haven't seen one another for weeks instead of minutes!  (Notice in the pictures that Katie is wearing her princess belt bag purse with baby dinosaurs in it.  For some unknown reason, she really wanted to wear it today during class. Also, note the adorable pigtails!)








Katie's class was only 8 sessions long (the last one was this morning), while Drew's class is 16 sessions. I think we might have to sign up Katie for the next 8 session class that starts next week, because I can't imagine telling her that just Drew gets to go back next week!
