Well i took C to the gymnastics under 3 class today. She loved the warm up as it had music. While the other kids were trying to balance bean bags on their heads she had one in each hand and was doing her Upsy Daisy dance
They then showed us the 'circuits' but she got a little overwrought with all the people about and stuff so I took her to sit outside til she was done shouting and crying and asked if she wanted to go back in and play nicely and she said yes so we did and she had a ball.
She wasnt up for the trampoline or the little beams which surprised me as she likes boinging usually but she liked trying to jump on the springy board and the spring floor and she loved throwing bean bags in the net. She also stole the hula hoops the kids were meant to be jumping/stepping in. I confiscated all bar one of them and put it back but she was so taken by the red one i left her to it as everyone else was running wild too.
She has a unique method of hooping, she puts the hoop over her head and holds it round her waist then spins round in circles til she falls over
, she also seemed to find it funny if i rolled it across the room and ran after it shrieking with laughter then brought it back to do it again - fine by me, wore her out
.
She didnt really seem to get the cones but felt they made fine hats and liked the space hopper once i held her on it and boinged it for her.
Def going to take her again, They had older kids doing the beams and things and then some little ones too, though c seemed to be littlest who were just playing like she was but she had fun and even spoke to another little girl saying hello to her and sharing a ball with her which made me very proud of her. You can do drop in as long as you like so for 3.50 a week will keep taking her mondays and if she shows interest when older in doing any of it properly might take her more regularly then
