Here's a quick post so that I have at least one for the month! Tomorrow Dash will be 20 months and then I will try to post some pics from his monthly photo shoot.
In the meantime, here are a few pics from our outing this morning to the Little Gym. This was Dash's first time to an organized gymnastics/exercise class. He was a bit timid when we arrived but soon went off to do his own thing (as most of the kids did....they are all around 2 give or take a few months) and wasn't necessarily following the lead of the instructor. Several of the kids congregated on the parallel bars...the popular station of the day. Dash did a few somersaults, a back handspring (modified of course!), and had a try on the uneven bars (he needed a little help to hold on to the bars with both hands). There was one boy who could hold himself on the uneven bars in the pike position with his feet on the bars. Something to aspire to I suppose. Fortunately Dash has a bit of a weight disadvantage....supporting 30 lbs on those bars is no easy feat. He needs a leaner figure to be a gymnast or I'll have to get him started on some weights!
