The Little Gym

We've joined The Little Gym and have been to two classes now! I took pictures at the second one. Carter is in Madelyn's class also, and it is similar to the place where Jordan (Carter's mom) and I taught in college ("so why don't you just get together and do it yourselves to save money" our husbands ask). Anyway, it is really fun and wears M out and she takes long naps afterward!

Madelyn's teacher
He was singing a song and all the babies were in their mom's laps...except Madelyn, who was in the center of the circle clapping (and of course thinking she was the center of attention)

Here are some of the things Madelyn does at gymnastics...

get ready, and....
hang! I know you can't see her feet, but she really is hanging all by herself
and now falling!
she did a front roll over this mat! a guy was supposed to be taking a picture of it, but he turned the camera off instead :-(
the wheelbarrow!
she practices walking with the help of a bar!
she practices crawling over obstacles and plays with bubbles and balls at the end of class

The Little Gym has this neat air tumbler thing...kinda like a bounce house. We put all the babies on and then blew it up with them on top! It was really funny...some loved it (Madelyn), some cried, and some fell over! Then they put some equipment on top and let the babies explore and play. When it was time to deflate it, the moms and babies got on until we all sunk to the ground.
