Teeny Tumbler Alum


Rosie "graduated" from her tumbling class the other day. This was the best possible wintertime activity we could have had: she learned how to do summersaults, log rolls, balance beam, trampoline bouncing, all that. Not that she can do it all by herself but she *thinks* she can. It was a cute ceremony where each kid did the "course" and then got a little certificate. This was one of the rare toddler classes I've been in where they introduce a modicum of order/discipline -- beyond the usual no fighting no biting kind of stuff. Coach Mason was just this side of strict and the kids went crazy for him.

This last day was especially poignant since it was the last week the place was in operation. Sad, sad! Closed for business, what will we do next winter?

Goodbyes with Coach Mason and Michelle:



Summersault! Getting a little help from Mason--and then getting his trademark high five. Other children (same age) could do proper summersaults. Rosie's still getting the hang of it, but it still is progress since for awhile there she refused to do them at all.

WOW. I want to take that class! Maybe you'll have to create a home gym for next year.
