The Little Gym....
















These pictures are from The Little Gym. The Little Gym is a great place for kids. Carrie, our neighbor who watches Jetta, told me about it and so while I was off we took a tour and decided it would be good for her. They do group activities that encourage the kids to interact together, follow simple commands, sing songs and become independent. They also have time to explore the gym each time, which means they go and try out all the different apparatuses. They have several different levels of balance beams, uneven bars, and other gymnastic type equipment. Jetta loves the balance beam and is doing very well on it. I barely have to hold onto her and she will even do a front rollforward on it. She is also quite strong and will hold onto the bar and let us swing her. She is doing very well and seems to really enjoy it. We might have a future gymnast. She loves the instructor Ms. Megan. She has several more months in this class, which is the birdies and then will move up. I feel that this is very good for her and it allows her to interact with other kids and learn to share and be patient. My next thing is to enroll her in swimming lessons, as I feel that is a very valuable skill to have.
