In mid February Matthew started gymnastics. It is an activity that I felt he would have a natural tendency for and that he would really enjoy.
He loves the trampoline.
He also loves climbing.
This is how they begin to teach somersaults, on a wedge.
The balance beam
As with Karate, Alex is left to look on.
The bubble that pops to get all the kids in the right spot for stretching.
There is lots of stretching in gymnastics.
More trampoline.
Bear crawl
This one is really cool. They hang from the bar then climb up the yellow and red wedge then flip over the bar.
Once they have flipped over, they use their big muscles to lift themselves up and hold.
Matthew seems to really enjoy it but I'm not sure if it will be a long term thing.
