Gymnastics!

Last week Andy took the morning off and came with AJ and I to gymnastics class. He got to see all the fun that we talk about each week firsthand! Since there were 2 of us to "spot", we were able to take some pictures and videos...
Here he is walking on the blocks, Andy helping him walk across the beam, and a rare moment of AJ stretching with the class on the mat. He loves the beam and at home he lines up books or scarves on the floor to pretend they are his beam. As for stretching, he's usually so excited about being in the gym that he does not sit still for the group stretches. Somehow when Dad was there, he was a little more compliant, but we'll see how it goes this week!
So far, AJ can do a log roll, a forward roll, hang from a bar, hang from rings and walk on his hands and feet (which they call the bear walk in class). He loves running, climbing, rolling and balancing, and he likes his teacher too. Her name is Miss Dinene (da-neen) and AJ calls her "Deen!"
Here they are in a few video clips of AH hanging from the bar and doing his forward roll.
