Gymnastics Class

We signed Ella up for a Little Gym gymnastics class, and had the first class this past Saturday. It's for babies age 10 to 18 months, and there are 5 kids in the class and their parents too.

It was so cute - there is lots of singing and playing and Ella really had a good time. She crawled through the tunnel (and was the only baby that made it through - not that I'm bragging ;0), "walked" on the beam with daddy's help (aka Steve holding her up while she tried to sit), rode on a parachute, did some log rolls, played with balls, tried to hang on uneven bars, and bopped and danced to the music. In possibly the cutest moment, at the very end of the class, they were supposed to help the teacher put these bells and maracas back into a basket, and Ella scooped up as many bells as she could get her hands on, and put them all in the basket. Then, as the teacher tried to take the basket away, she put both hands out and made an attempt to get all the bells back...it was precious.

It was a really fun class and definitely something we'll look forward to every Saturday morning! One of these weeks I'll have to take some pics to post.

I can't wait to see pix. I'm sure that Ella is the most athletic of all the kids, and the best 'picker-upper.'
