For everyone who wanted to see photos of my almost-21-month-old at open gym at the gymnastics sportsplex, here you go ...
Week 1: There are no photos.
This post may remind you of why.
Week 2: Okay, I kept track of my phone, took a few photos, and steered totally clear of the foam pit. We're on a roll.

She loves climbing through this barrel thing. Until it starts to roll. I try to hold it still. Then some little snot kid comes and tells me that we're playing with it wrong. |
 |
| See? Loves it. |
 |
| She is DYING to figure out this hula hoop thing. I no longer hula hoop in public, so I am no help for her. Maybe this summer, in the backyard. After 6 months of Weight Watchers. |
 |
| Eventually, with socks off, and some coaching, she climbed all the way up and slid down the other side. It was a little high for her tastes: she was glad she accomplished it, but didn't want to try it again. |
 |
| "Up, please?" |
 |
| The Foam Pit. Note that I'm on the mat on the side taking the photo and not trying to haul my ass out like last week. |
Week 3: This week there were also School Age children at open gym. Therefore I spent ALOT more time defending my daughter from big-boy body slams, and had less opportunity to take photos. Also, I'm not sure how we ended up in the same pants for gymnastics two weeks in a row. If I had actually PLANNED that, they would have been in the laundry :)
 |
| She is having a bit of a hard time figuring out the whole "hoodie" thing. |
 |
| Maybe now she will keep it on. And yes, that is "Dora Saves The Puppies" playing on the TV in case you were wondering. |
There you go. We are considering starting a Mom-and-Tot class in January, since she did so well at Open Gym and obviously enjoyed herself.

Gunne wears the exact same thing each week and I bought him clothes just for going. That way he always has something clean without zippers, hooks or buttons. =)
Also, I totally dove into the foam pit at his last class... and lost my socks. I thought of you. ;)
I know I'm going backwards to catch up on the blog. So maybe this response would be better with the one where you go into the foam, but anyways. . .
My sisters and I sometimes had our birthday parties at a kids gym. And then some of the cousins that came after us (I still have sixth grade cousins) did as well. I believe the last one I went to I was probably 19 or 20, tiny little fit thing who went into the pit and a how I'd even attempt it no out. I have no idea how I'd even attempt it now!
The class sounds like so much fun!
