Seeing the gym for the first time:
HAPPY!
Tonight was our first gym class at the mattoon academy. Beckett loved it! First, the kids lined up on carpet squares and followed directions to songs. One song involved bean bags and was similar to the hokey pokey. Another song asked the kids to move their arms, legs, and bodies a certain way. Then we did a circuit of somersaults down ramps, cartwheels (!), and jumping through a circle. Beckett was laughing and running and very eager todo somersaults. He even did some on the floor between stations. Next was his favorite part: the trampoline. The teachers asked the kids to stand on the center "X" and then jump. Beckett was content "zooming" from one side to the other, and then repeating. There were two tramps, so we rotated through both and then went on to the balance beam. Beckett called the end a "big hill" and then jumped off. :). After the, he hung on a bar and swung like Tarzan. We ended with another turn on the trampoline, and we jumped together. He started to get the rhythm of it and didn't want to stop! The teacher, Sara, told him he did a good job and he said, "you're gorgeous!" Haha! He got a sticker. :)
