Our Summer as a Bug at The Little Gym!

08/28/2013

This summer my little man and I have been participating in the “bugs” class at The Little Gym.  Sadly tomorrow is our last class, although I am sure we will join again.  The Little Gym has given me the confidence in handling my son and giving me the guidance to help his development.  It has deepened our attachment in trusting each other in these activities.  Before we started he didn’t want to stand and weight-bear at all, but now he will and has a look of pride when he does.  He is rolling over constantly, back to tummy and back.  He hated tummy time before, but is much more tolerable now.  We have learned fun front and back flips, wheelbarrow and flagpoles which he really enjoys.  We have made connections and friends for both of us.

Each week had a different topic and we spoke about balance, colours, textures, body parts, rhythm and more.  There is also a great sign language element to the class.  We sang songs, did arm and leg exercises and had free time to explore the equipment.  We also got to play with shakers, balls, scarves, a parachute and ended the class with bubbles!  Ms. Mari was wonderful and we can’t wait to join you again in the “birds” class.

Thanks Little Gym for a great summer!
