Gymnastics Class

Cole started gymnastics class this morning. I knew I was in for it when he refused to do the warm-up and sat on his carpet square and pouted. Honestly though, he didn't do so badly once we really got started. His gross motor skills are certainly a bit behind the other children in the class, but he did have a good time. He told me his favorite activities were the slide and the pit. Next week we will be working on actually doing what the instructor tells us, like doing a forward roll down the mat, not sliding down it like a sliding board.

He really has difficulties jumping, so that is keeping him from doing a lot of the activities. Hopefully by the end of the class he will have improved some of his motor skills.
