Little Gymnast

Lauren loves to run.
She loves to jump.
She loves to play.

The Little Gym has been a great place for her 
{cough cough.. us} 
to run, jump, and play
while building both motor skills and social skills.

Last weekend was Show Week where the whole family attends and the little gymnasts show their skills.

I used to take Lauren to class during the week.
After Caroline was born, we decided to switch her class to Saturday and make it a special time with dad.

Lauren has grown a lot this year. 
Her warm up and listening skills have improved greatly and so have her forward rolls!
She loves hanging from the bars and will jump off any surface.
Although the jump is really more of a step off... 
We're working on 'sticking' the landing.

After we saw her skills, she received her medal

and stood up there for all of 3 seconds.

She gets so excited when we mention Little Gym
and it's not hard to see why.
She exudes pure joy 
running and jumping in a padded room full of little friends.

And I think getting to spend some extra special time with dad
may have something else to do with that smile.
