My First Gym Class

Today Mommy and I went to my first official class at MyGym. I had lots of fun! Mommy tried to take videos to show all of you, but they wound up only being a few seconds long. By the time she'd hit record, I was already taking off to something else!

Mommy was very proud to see that I was preferring to walk instead of crawl. If I started to crawl, it was only for a few seconds, and then I remembered it's faster now for me to walk. So I would stand up (without using anything to help me!) and just start walking!

Part of the class was singing and clapping, and I didn't enjoy that too much. I didn't understand why we were wasting time sitting in a circle when there was so much to do! I kept standing up and walking away, and Mommy had to chase after me and bring me back. Finally it was time to play again, and it was the best part. The coaches hung rings from the ceiling, and we got to play with them! I loved it, and I was yelling and laughing. I walked around and around, and then I would let go and keep on walking! I thought it was VERY funny when the rings were swinging and they'd come back and bonk me in the head. I cracked up laughing every time.

We did tumbling on a mat, and I didn't quite see the point in that, really. But I got to swing hanging on to a rope, and that was a lot of fun. We were only supposed to get in line one or two times, but I took it upon myself to walk back to the coach when Mommy wasn't looking. =) There was also time for the parents to sit back so the kids could play with just the teachers and other children. "Separation" they called it. Mommy didn't think I'd care at all, so she wasn't worried. But then everytime I'd spot her looking at me, I'd stand up and walk all the way over to her with a big smile! Then she'd turn me around and send me right back.

During the separation play, the coaches brought out lots of fun little toys to play with. They had a set of soft blocks that I got for Christmas at home. Remember that video from a long time ago when I was crawling with my favorite red curved block sticking out of my mouth? I went right to it today too! =)
